PeaceHealth is planning to lay off one percent of its 16,000-person workforce, affecting positions at PeaceHealth Southwest in Vancouver and PeaceHealth Sacred Heart at RiverBend in Springfield. This decision has sparked protests from unions representing some of the affected workers, including the Oregon Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals (OFNHP). The union organized a protest, describing the layoffs as having potentially devastating consequences for patient care and the health of the region. PeaceHealth stated that the reductions are necessary to improve core operating performance and ensure long-term viability, noting that while hospital net revenue has increased, expenses per day have increased at nearly double the rate of revenue growth. The layoffs impact roles such as mobility aides, social workers, and technicians. The OFNHP expressed significant concern about the future of patient care if the layoffs proceed.

PeaceHealth United General Cancer Center in Sedro-Woolley, Washington, has completed the installation of a new, high-precision Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator for radiation therapy. This technology, a $12 million investment including the construction of a specialty room, replaces an older model and offers advanced radiation therapy treatment for cancer patients in the region. The TrueBeam provides clinicians with the ability to tailor treatments for each patient's unique condition and offers a noninvasive alternative to traditional surgery. It is particularly useful for treating tumors that are often difficult to surgically address, such as those in the brain, lung, spine, or prostate. The system generates 3D images in 60 percent less time than other imaging technologies and can deliver treatment with sub-millimeter precision. The first patient was treated with the new technology on May 21, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony was planned for June 12.

Workers at PeaceHealth Hospital in Vancouver, WA are currently on strike, joining other healthcare workers who feel their employers have left them no alternative in their fight for a fair contract.

The union representing some PeaceHealth workers, UFCW 3000, has expressed solidarity with the striking employees and other healthcare unions, stating that healthcare workers and the general workforce have reached a critical point due to perceived corporate, executive, and investor greed impacting families and communities. The union's news update from May 30, 2025, highlights the strike in Vancouver as part of broader labor disputes in the healthcare sector regarding contract negotiations and working conditions.
