IN CONVERSATION with Jeff Golden
Roy Vinyard (CEO, Asante Health)

Roy Vinyard (CEO, Asante Health) For its size and population, southern Oregon has a network of health care facilities you'd be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in Oregon. Two of the cornerstones of this network are Rogue Valley Medical Center in Medford and Three Rivers Community Hospital in Grants Pass. They share a common owner -- Asante Health Systems, a non-profit, community-owned system that also owns and operates Genesis Recovery Center for Alcohol and Drug Addition and Hearthstone Manor, a skilled nursing and Alzheimer's treatment facility.

Roy Vinyard, Asante's CEO, knows something about health care. He came to the Rogue Valley from Portland, where he was Chief Administrative Officer of both Oregon Health Science University and Dohrnbecker Children's Hospital.

Jeff and Roy get down to brass tacks in this program as they discuss tough issues such as medical ethics, the current health care crisis. and the bureaucracy associated with the system.

Aired December 14, 2007.
