Bend
The Kresge Foundation offered the Cascade Healthcare Community,
the nonprofit parent of St.
Charles Medical Center, a $600,000 challenge grant if
the medical center raises $10 million by Dec. 31. The
three-year campaign, part of a $128 million investment in
facilities, technology and equipment, has raised nearly $8
million so far. Imminent completion of an emergency room
expansion in Bend and expansion of the Redmond hospital this
October will help address the area’s booming population.
In two years, the Bend facilities will also include a 30-bed
rehabilitation unit to serve stroke, brain injury and major
trauma patients.
