Medford Klamath Falls, OR, October 20, 2026 —

Doctors who were fired from neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) roles in Medford-Klamath Falls are publicly asking the Asante board of directors to intervene over what they describe as a growing list of concerns involving patient safety and hospital operations.

Asante has declined to comment, citing active legal issues. The available information does not specify when the doctors were fired, how many physicians are involved, or which facilities are at the center of the concerns.

The doctors’ request puts their stated concerns before the organization’s board, but the details of the issues have not been provided. No specific patient-safety incidents, operational problems, or proposed interventions were included in the information available. As a result, the scope and nature of the concerns cannot be independently described here.

Asante’s response was limited to its decision not to comment because of the active legal issues. No further statement from the organization was provided, and no response from the doctors beyond their public appeal was included.

The information available also does not identify the doctors, explain the circumstances of their employment terminations, or provide details about any legal proceedings. It is therefore unclear what steps, if any, the board has taken in response to the appeal. The doctors’ request and Asante’s decision not to comment are the only developments specified in the account.

Further information about the concerns, the board’s response and the status of the legal issues was not provided.
