Department Overview About Columbia Memorial HospitalColumbia Memorial Hospital (CMH) is the fastest-growing rural hospital in Oregon, proudly serving the healthcare needs of the northern Oregon coast. In partnership with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), CMH provides exceptional, person-centered care as a not-for-profit, independent, Planetree Gold-Certified organization.
As a full‑service Critical Access Hospital, CMH is committed to combining clinical excellence with community-focused care. The hospital and its expanding network of clinics employ over 900 dedicated professionals, including more than 100 physicians and advanced practice providers across surgical, non‑surgical, and primary care specialties.
CMH has also been recognized nationally as one of the "Most Wired" Critical Access Hospitals, demonstrating its leadership in healthcare technology and innovation.
Emergency Department OverviewThe Columbia Memorial Hospital Emergency Department serves approximately 17,000 patients annually within a 9‑bed facility that functions as the region's Level III trauma‑designated center. Despite its size, the department handles high‑acuity cases and operates with outstanding efficiency and clinical quality metrics.
The ED's single‑practice model fosters strong collaboration between providers and nursing staff, supported by highly engaged hospital leadership. The department operates with three 8‑hour physician shifts daily (6 a.m.–2 p.m., 2 p.m.–9 p.m., and 9 p.m.–6 a.m.), with three days each week of additional 8‑hour physician coverage to accommodate volume and acuity. The staffing structure also includes seven days a week of 10‑hour daily APP coverage.
This structure ensures continuous, comprehensive emergency care for the community.
The physician group includes thirteen board‑certified emergency physicians. Six live locally in Astoria, while others balance practice between CMH and larger regional centers such as Adventist Health Portland and Hillsboro Medical Center. Engagement, teamwork, and clinical excellence define the group's culture.
CMH also serves as a rotation site for second‑year Emergency Medicine residents and elective third year, offering a month‑long rural medicine elective that consistently receives top evaluations for educational quality, clinical exposure, and mentorship.
