Starting this winter, health care providers from St. Charles will begin offering services to guests and employees of Mt. Bachelor at the clinic located in the ski patrol building near the West Village area. Providers from St. Charles Urgent Care clinics will staff the St. Charles Mountain Clinic Fridays through Sundays and during holidays.
“We are very excited and also humbled to take on this responsibility for the community,” said Dr. Steve Gordon, president and CEO of St. Charles. “Our organization and Mt. Bachelor have a lot in common in terms of our history and commitment to the Central Oregon community and we are thrilled to be able to work more closely together through this new collaboration.”
The St. Charles and Mt. Bachelor teams will work together over the next few months to determine what level of services will be provided, levels of staffing and more before ski season opens – typically in late November.
“At Mt. Bachelor, the safety and well-being of our guests and employees is critical,” said John Merriman, Mt. Bachelor President and General Manager. “Partnering with St. Charles – an organization deeply rooted in this community – allows us to expand on that commitment with expert medical support right here at the mountain. We’re incredibly proud to offer this new level of care as part of the Mt. Bachelor experience.”
