History of The Center

Before becoming the St. Charles Center for Orthopedics & Neurosurgery, The Center had a long history in Central Oregon. 

The Center got their start in 1958 when the Bend Orthopedic & Fracture was founded. Then, in 1979, the Bend Neurosurgical Group was founded. In 1999, the two groups merged to form The Orthopedic & Neurosurgical Center of the Cascades.

The Redmond location was opened in 2001.

In 2003, a new name and new vision was created and the organization became The Center Orthopedic & Neurosurgical Care & Research.

The next year, The Center moved into the current Neff Road location.

In 2005, the Cascade Surgicenter was opened, then expanded to add two more operating rooms in 2022.

In 2016, the Shevlin Health & Wellness Center opened.

In 2025, The Center joined St. Charles Health System to form the St. Charles Center for Orthopedics & Neurosurgery.
