CEP America Begins Staffing Inpatient Department at Mercy Medical Center Roseburg in Oregon


EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 19, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CEP America, one of the nation's leading providers of hospital-based physician management solutions, is pleased to announce the expansion of its partnership with Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg, Ore. After successfully staffing the emergency department (ED) for five years, hospital administrators selected CEP America to begin managing and staffing the inpatient department effective May 15.

This is CEP America's first hospitalist contract in the state of Oregon.
