Santiam Hospital & Clinics, a small rural health system teetering on collapse, is begging regulators for emergency approval to merge with Salem Health—claiming they’ll go bankrupt by August if the deal doesn’t happen fast.

With the Attorney General holding a public forum and the health authority racing to analyze the case, the fate of this vital rural provider hangs in the balance.
