Another Asante Update

About this video

In a direct-to-camera update distinct from his sketches, Flanary revisits his criticism of Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford, Oregon, and its replacement of neonatologists with a private-equity-backed staffing firm. He focuses on a panel discussion he says misrepresented pediatric hematology-oncology coverage, arguing in his telling that the longtime board-certified physician had left after years running the service largely alone, leaving no authorized prescriber for chemotherapy locally. He calls on the system to be transparent about what services it can actually provide.

Key takeaways

• Flanary argues a panel claim about pediatric hematology-oncology coverage was inaccurate at the time he cites
• In his telling, the departure of the sole longtime physician left no prescriber for chemotherapy locally
• His point is that families would need to travel hours for care if local services cannot deliver it
