PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Four Legacy Health urgent care clinics are closed for the foreseeable future.

Legacy’s locations are closed in West Linn, Lake Oswego, the Pearl District and Camas. Although the company has confirmed the closures are due to lack of staffing, Legacy has not stated those staffing issues are caused by the state-wide COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers.

However, KOIN 6 News spoke to Leah Peterson — an employee who says she will quit when the October 18 deadline to be vaccinated arrives. She works directly with patients at Legacy Silverton Medical Center as a sonographer, performing ultrasounds.

The great news is that Liberals are extremely well educated.

Their masters degrees in 17th century transgender poetry can easily translate into hard sciences.

Portland is becoming dysfunctional. Venezuela comes to America.

Ironically the people they are losing are usually among the best and most productive, be they RNs or janitors.

Great idea. Mandate the vax. Of course some people resist. Now can’t staff medical facilities, declare a health emergency, consolidate more power over people.

Government is causing the crisis to keep the crisis going so they can tell us what we can and cannot do. And a good number of people won’t stand up and tell them to FO.

When the Omega Variant gets going, maybe the Democrats will tip their hand, and we will all realize that their entire COVID Health fiasco was a fascistic fraud, at least the mandate part of it. But on second thought, so what? We won’t do anything about it anyway.

Does anyone else think this may be part of the plan? Cause private healthcare system to collapse so they can “Build Back Better” with a completely government run system?

I still don’t understand what people think they gain by quitting rather than forcing the company fire them? The cost and decision to fire would likely cause some companies to change their mind. At the end of the day, I think people wimp out rather than force the issues.

Do you really want to continue working for a pfascist company that wanted to fire you? They're working on your replacement, guaranteed. Why not leave when it's advantageous to you, not them? No muss, no fuss, see you later.

Often, the first who jump ship get hired by the competition. Those who wait too long might find themselves in a tight hiring market (except for the other now-desperate pfascist employers). I worked at a company that had a race for the exits and ironically, some of the first out the door became bosses who months later had their former supervisors at the old company come interviewing for a subordinate job.

Some people also don't want to explain in the future when someone asks them "have you ever been fired by a previous employer?"

Is this code for Planned Parenthood?

Don’t count that out.

They love to play the ‘only medical care facilities in
depressed areas’ card.

I agree. I hate when conservatives use that term. They are NOT liberal.

They are commie/fascist Marxists. If we’re not going to call them that, at least call them progressives because they are progressive — like cancer, which is what they are to our beloved country.

How about a different take, some companies are changing their mind based on the fear of having to actually fire their employees. Thus, those employees caused good and get to continue jobs they may have liked instead of cutting and running, losing seniority, and maybe benefits.

Hmm.
The rich parts of Portland can’t seem to find healthcare workers.
Interesting....

They just need to spend more money, increase regulations, and vote for more liberals.

Hey Journalists:

Question for you: Why do all these nurses and doctors refuse the jab and give up their jobs?

Might make a good article if your overlords will permit it to be published. This #fakenews “article” strangely doesn’t answer what most would consider the number one question in all these people quitting.

I think they should issue notice:

Due to temporary less than optimally complete staffing levels, we ask you to plan your health emergencies in advance. Non-emergency issues (pain problems or need for screening) will be rescheduled into next year.
