The news came from a letter from President Dennis Knox on April 18 addressed to his Adventist Health Columbia Gorge (AHCG) Colleagues. “Furthermore, as of next Thursday, April 25, the position of President of AHCG will be eliminated, and I, accordingly, will no longer be at AHCG,” Knox wrote in the letter.

Local Nurses voted on Monday, Nov. 1, in favor of a contract with Mid-Columbia Medical Center that will give them a 10 percent pay increase during the next three years. And MCMC congratulated itself and the Oregon Nurses Association. It took 4 months of working out of contract and descriptions of burnout working conditions before the deal was made.
