Plans are underway for Samaritan Health Services to affiliate with MultiCare Health System, and Samaritan leaders are inviting the public to learn more at a series of upcoming town halls across the region.
All of the town halls are full, so a new date was added for the valley region: Tuesday, Nov. 25, at Boulder Falls Inn Event Center in Lebanon, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Each town hall will be hosted by Marty Cahill, president and CEO of Samaritan Health Services, together with Samaritan hospital and system leadership. Attendees will hear detailed presentations about the planned MultiCare affiliation and have the opportunity to ask questions during an open Q&A session.
Because many community members have also expressed interest in learning more about Medicare and Medicare Advantage health plans, licensed health insurance agents who specialize in Medicare will host informational tables at each in-person event to answer questions before and after the presentations.
Registration is required, and seating is limited at each in-person event. To register or learn more, visit samhealth.org/Affiliation. For more information about what this affiliation means for our patients and communities, visit samhealth.org/Affiliation.
Spots are also still open on Thursday, Dec. 11, 12-1 p.m. in a Virtual forum via Microsoft Teams. Link provided upon registration; recording available at samhealth.org/Affiliation after the event.

Learn about the plans for Samaritan Health Services to affiliate with MultiCare Health System, a highly respected, mission-driven organization based out of Tacoma, Washington.

City construction/road work updates:

Crowfoot Road between View Lane and Cascade Drive will remain closed to through traffic with a detour in place through December 2025. Paving and final restoration is now anticipated to occur in mid-to-late December, depending on weather conditions and utility scheduling. Residents in the impacted area will be afforded reasonable access but should expect short periods of delay.

Beginning Monday, Nov. 10, the city will begin repairing and upgrading the storm system on S. Second Street near the intersection with D Street to improve the street drainage. Construction is expected to last a few weeks, weather permitting. Inclement weather will extend the construction period.
During construction, S. Second Street will remain open to traffic with flaggers. Residents within the area will be provided reasonable access to their properties, but there will be temporary restrictions to individual driveways, and periodic delays or other minor inconveniences should be expected.

On Wednesday, Nov. 12, from 7:30-10:30 a.m. the city will be working on W. Sherman Street between Main and 2nd streets.
During this time, parking will be limited on W. Sherman St. Businesses within the project area will be provided with reasonable access to their properties, but temporary restrictions and other minor inconveniences may be in place.

For continuous updates regarding construction location, visit City of Lebanon website's Geographic Information System (GIS). For questions or concerns, contact Engineering at 541-258-4923 or [email protected].
