Medford Klamath Falls, OR, October 23, 2026 —
A group of retired physicians in Medford has raised concerns about changes at Asante, focusing on the quality and accessibility of care at Rogue Regional Medical Center. The group is also questioning why the Asante Board of Directors has not engaged with them about those issues.
The available information does not specify what changes at Asante prompted the concerns or describe particular effects on care at the hospital. It also does not identify the physicians, say how many people are in the group, or provide details about any communication with the board.
No response from Asante or the board is included in the information provided. It is therefore unclear whether the board has addressed the concerns through other channels or whether a meeting or other engagement has been requested.
The concerns center on two issues: the standard of care and patients’ ability to access care at Rogue Regional Medical Center. The summary does not provide examples, data, or specific incidents related to either issue, so the nature and scope of the group’s concerns cannot be determined from the available details.
Further information about the changes, the physicians’ concerns, and the board’s position was not provided. The group’s questions nonetheless put attention on whether and how Asante’s leadership is engaging with retired physicians raising concerns about care at the medical center.
