EUGENE-SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - Moving 125 patients was not an easy task. But hospital officials said everything went as planned. We followed little Luna Clair Parnell from her home at the University District Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit to her brand new room at RiverBend.

It took a lot of very skilled hands to make sure Luna made the trip safely. Every patient had their own nurse accompanying them. More than sixty emergency medical technicians and 16 ambulances were also brought in from all over the state for the move. They transported the sickest patients first.

Hospital officials said the staff couldn't have been more prepared which made their job much easier.

"When that happens you relax because you know the staff is really excellent and capable to begin with and you add the overcapacity, you just don't worry," said Chief of Staff Dr. Bill Moshofsky.

The new hospital is already celebrating its first milestone. RiverBend's first baby was born at 1:19 Sunday afternoon. Caden Matthew Christopherson weighed in at a very healthy seven pounds seven ounces.

It will take the hospital a few weeks to get settled in. There are 17 surgeries scheduled this week. Officials hope to be at full capacity with 26 by the following week.

The last patient transferred from Sacred Heart Medical Center , University District, was admitted to Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend at 3:41 p.m.

"This is just the most amazing day," said Jill Hoggard Green, PeaceHealth Oregon Region chief operating officer and administrator of Sacred Heart Medical Center. "Our talented caregivers at both hospitals conducted a flawless move. By all accounts, our patients had extraordinary care throughout the day."

Green acknowledged the tremendous community support from the hospital's move partners, including Eugene and Springfield EMS, Life Flight, McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center, and colleagues at PeaceHealth.

The first baby born at Sacred Heart was to a staff nurse who works on the hospital’s Mother Baby unit: Autumn Christopherson gave birth to Caden Matthew Christopherson at 1:19 p.m. He was 19-1/2 inches long and weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces. Caden’s dad is Tyler Christopherson. He joins two sisters, Haley, age 5, and Avery, age 2.

A 47-year-old man involved in a motor vehicle accident was transported by helicopter to the hospital’s helipad at 2:55 p.m. (No condition was available at the time of this release.)
