Top 5 things to know about getting care during the ONA strike

Here’s what to know about getting care at Providence hospitals and clinics during the Oregon Nurses Association strike that starts Friday, January 10. Our priority during this time will be to provide our patients with the same excellent and compassionate care our community has come to expect from Providence.

1. Our hospitals are open and ready to care for our patients. There are some adjustments in place to limit capacity at Providence St. Vincent.
2. We have secured the services of highly qualified, experienced replacement workers who will be working alongside our existing caregivers.
3. If you have a critical, emergency need, and you are near a Providence hospital, come to us and be assured we will take care of you. We apologize if wait times are longer than normal. 
4. If we need to defer or reschedule procedures or appointments, Providence will contact patients directly.
5. If you have a clinic appointment located in or near a Providence hospital, please be advised that you may need to check-in at a designated entrance. If we need to reschedule appointments, Providence will contact patients directly.
