Cascades East Transit at St. Charles Bend

St. Charles Health System has partnered with Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council and Cascades East Transit (CET) to address transportation in Bend. The investment in public transit is just one of many ways the health system is working to improve parking at the Bend campus and access to care for patients with limited transportation options.

Bus routes within the city of Bend have been expanded and a bus stop has been added to the St. Charles Bend campus to provide additional access for patients and visitors.

This new bus stop is on Medical Center Drive, just off of Neff Road and across from the St. Charles Immediate Care building.

For your convenience, Cascade East Transit’s website has a “trip planner” feature which can be found here: http://www.cascadeseasttransit.com/.

Hospitalist Services

Always here for you.

Hospitalists are doctors and other licensed medical professionals who will take care of you when you are admitted to the hospital. From the minute you check in until you are discharged home, the hospitalist team will manage your care and coordinate with specialty providers, if needed. They will also keep your primary care provider informed and up-to-date on your condition.

Our hospitalists are available at any time, day or night, to ensure you receive immediate attention and care when needed. They rotate shifts, so you may see different members of the hospitalist team during your stay. Each provider has access to your chart and notes about your care. They will also let your primary care provider know when you have been discharged from the hospital.

Capital Project Reporting Form

"As you might imagine, anybody can walk in at any time with preterm labor, so we’re ready to go 24/7. We have dedicated teams that basically jump into action at a moment’s notice. We have ongoing training and simulation to make sure our skills are up to par and up to date and it’s an ongoing practice. So, when that mom comes in, we’re ready to go and in a sense, you bring your ‘A game.’ And in that sense, I’ve worked in multiple units and this is one of the highest functioning units I’ve ever worked in, in terms of performance, camaraderie and team effort."

- Dr. Azimi, neonatologist, talking about the ways in which the St. Charles Bend Neonatal Intensive Care Unit prepares to receive its tiny patients, many of whom are born premature

This month, St. Charles Health System is submitting an application to have all four of its hospital campuses listed on the Healthcare Equality Index.

The HEI, managed by the Human Rights Campaign, is a national LGTBQ benchmarking tool that evaluates health care facilities’ policies and practices related to the equity and inclusion of their LGTBQ patients, visitors and employees.

For the past few years, St. Charles' Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity workgroup has been working on initiatives that would allow the health system to apply for the 2020 HEI. As an example of this work, St. Charles has confirmed or added “Sexual Orientation” and “Gender Identity and Expression” to its Patient Non-Discrimination, Equal Visitation and Employment Non-Discrimination policies.

Additionally, as a requirement to apply, several members of the system's executive and leadership teams had to complete a three-part training offered by the HEI titled “LGTBQ Patient-Centered Care: An Executive Briefing.” And St. Charles' Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity class has been wildly successful, with around 350 caregivers going through the course over the past year.
