PeaceHealth to break ground on
family guest house
Every year, thousands of patients throughout the region arrive at PeaceHealth
Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend needing specialized care not available
in their home communities.
Whether it's a premature infant, a stroke victim or a trauma patient, chances are
they'll be staying a while, as will their loved ones.
By the spring of 2019, these families will have a beautiful, tranquil place to call
their home away from home, for as long as they need it. PeaceHealth and Ronald
McDonald House Charities are collaborating to build and operate a new 20-room
guest house on the RiverBend campus, within just a few minutes’ walk to the main
hospital.
A groundbreaking for the Heartfelt Guest House is planned for 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
on April 26 at the building site, on the north edge of campus on St. Joseph Place.
“Families come to us under a great deal of stress, especially if their loved one is
gravely ill or injured,” said Jeff Larson, chief development offi cer for PeaceHealth
Oregon Network. “Some of our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit infants are with us for
three months or more. Add in the expense and inconvenience of staying in a hotel,
and it can be overwhelming. That’s why we’re so delighted to be able to offer them
a tranquil retreat, where they can stay for little or no cost, as long as they need to—
and be within minutes of their loved one.”
The new guest house will replace the current Children's Miracle Network/Lions
Patient Family Guest House, located on Patterson Street near PeaceHealth Sacred
Heart Medical Center, University District. That guest house accommodates about
300 families each year, but it’s too small to meet the growing need—and it’s a
20-minute drive from RiverBend, which serves the vast majority of long-term pa-
tients, including Neonatal Intensive Care Unit newborns. PeaceHealth will keep the
guest house space for yet-to-be determined care services.
