"We are pleased to welcome the first group of residents to the coast," said Lesley Ogden, MD, CEO of the two Samaritan hospitals in Lincoln County. The goal of the rural residency program is to create well trained physicians specializing in family medicine with a focus on caring for an underserved, rural population. A secondary goal is to show the new doctors the opportunities available to them on the central Oregon coast, perhaps inspiring them to remain. "We believe this program will allow us to grow our own physicians, so to speak.
