Health care trends nationwide have been moving toward affiliation with larger and more viable institutions.  The Cottage Grove medical community has partnered with PeaceHealth, Oregon Region. PeaceHealth is the parent of Eugene’s Sacred Heart Medical Center and PeaceHealth Medical Group. It has other hospitals, physician groups and affiliations in Florence, Oregon, Washington and Alaska. This partnership with PeaceHealth has resulted in the completion of a new hospital facility in Cottage Grove – Cottage Grove Community Hospital and Clinics.  

Nine healthcare providers belong to South Lane Medical Group, providing care at two locations, Cottage Grove and Creswell.  

 Emergency services, radiology, diagnostic imaging, lab and rehabilitation services are all available in Cottage Grove. Primary care is provided by Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and two nurse practitioners. Pediatric services are provided by family medicine and pediatricians.
