MEDFORD, Ore. — Rogue Regional Medical Center confirmed on Monday, October 26, that all its cardiac services are now in one place, after six new cardiac catheterization laboratories were opened as part of a broader expansion of the hospital’s cardiovascular facilities for patients in southern Oregon and northern California, with assistance from a $1 million lead donation from J.

RRMC Expansion Enhances Access to Specialized Cardiac Treatment
The hospital’s nonprofit health system operator, Asante, indicated that the RRMC expansion project has expanded the space available in the hospital’s Cardiovascular Recovery Unit. All its cardiovascular services are also now in one facility. The upgraded unit is expected to improve coordination between services and patients, making advanced procedures more accessible in the region.
Asante performs thousands of cardiac catheterization procedures each year, including nearly 2,000 electrophysiology procedures and pacemaker implants.
Rogue Regional’s cardiac unit has been expanding over several years. A 24-bed cardiovascular intensive care unit was added in 2024, and other developments included enhancements to the hospital’s surgical services.
Jon Cooper, the Rogue Regional CEO, said the expansion would help meet increasing demand for specialized cardiovascular treatment to the community.
De Vos Family Gifts $1 Million To Rogue Regional Heart Unit Expansion
To partly fund the cath lab expansion, a lead donation of $1 million was made by J. Paul and Geertje de Vos through AsanteForward, an initiative raising money for improvements in the health system.
Asante’s senior vice president and chief philanthropy officer, Andrea Reeder, indicated that philanthropy helps fund projects of this scale. As for patients, the expansion means additional dedicated space for cardiovascular procedures and recovery in one location.
