PeaceHealth ENT Services Available at Peace Harbor in Fall 2024

FLORENCE, Ore. – PeaceHealth Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Care services – including clinic and surgical – will be available at PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center, located at 310 9th St, Florence, OR 97439, beginning Fall 2024.

PeaceHealth ENT services diagnose and treat problems in the ears, nose and throat and related parts of the head and neck, and ENTs offer minimally invasive treatments to appropriate patients for sinus disease.

Nearly 200 coastal PeaceHealth patients commute to Eugene for clinical and Springfield for surgical ENT appointments, sometimes multiple times a year. Expanding PeaceHealth ENT services to Florence will help remove the barriers associated with commuting to out-of-town medical appointments, such as time and transportation access, by providing better ease and accessibility to appointments.

PeaceHealth ENT in Florence will be staffed by three clinicians from Eugene, NathanChristensen, MD, Frank Chen, MD, and Jeff Wong, MD, and supported by existing Peace Harbor caregivers and clinicians in the OR and Cardiology Clinic.

“We are incredibly excited to have these talented physicians partnering with us to provide ENT services locally in our community so that our residents no longer need to travel for health care,” says Jason Hawkins, CAO PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center and Cottage Grove Community Medical Center. “We a thankful to everyone who has worked to help make this happen over the past year.”

PeaceHealth and non-PeaceHealth patients can call 458-205-6500 to schedule an appointment. Hours of operations will be the first, second, and fourth Friday of each month, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This upcoming December 2024, ENT expects to add pediatric services. More information can be found at PeaceHealth.org.
