Blue Mountain Hospital District
"Brim knows the standards for physician salaries across the country"
Bob Holland, MD
Blue Mountain Hospital District, John Day, Oregon
The Challenge
The hospital district was struggling to recruit and retain physicians in this isolated, "frontier" community.
The Solution
Brim convinced the community to invest in a compensation plan that was competitive nationally and would build a strong, stable medical staff.
Working from new strength and stability, Blue Mountain has:
- Expanded from one to five family physicians
- Modernized the hospital with new space for emergency services and intensive care, new administrative and medical offices and upgraded patient care rooms
- Relied heavily on Brim, saving considerably on independent consultant costs
- Remained viable
"This is an essential hospital," said Dr. Holland. "If it closed, people would have real problems. Brim keeps us out of trouble and heading in the right direction."
