Sky Lakes Medical Center

Sky Lakes Medical Center is a community-owned, not-for-profit acute-care hospital and healthcare system based in Klamath Falls, Oregon, serving the Klamath Basin across a 10,000-square-mile area in south-central Oregon and northern California. Founded in 1965, it operates as a 176-bed teaching hospital and has been providing care to the region for more than half a century.

The centre offers a full range of medical services, including primary care, specialty care, cancer treatment, emergency services and behavioral health care. Its teaching-hospital status places clinical staff alongside medical education programmes, while its rural and community health focus shapes the breadth of practice available to employees across the region.

Governance is local: the hospital is owned by the people living in the communities it serves, and decisions are made at the community level with a stated mission of compassionate, patient-focused care. It holds ISO 9001 certification for quality management, is an internationally accredited facility, and has been recognised as a Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital. Chief executive David Cauble brings more than 25 years of healthcare industry experience to the role.
