Dr. Schultheiss Retirement Announced
Dear patients and referring providers,
I am retiring from my practice at Salem Gastroenterology Consultants effective December 31st, 2020.
My colleagues and staff at Salem Gastroenterology and Salem Endoscopy Center will provide ongoing, excellent care for my current and former patients. It has been a privilege to be a part of Salem’s healthcare community and to enjoy the trust of my patients and referring providers for the last 31 years.
Sincerely,
Edward Schultheiss MD
COVID-19 Update
Yes, we are open, but in a limited fashion. All of our Office Visits are being converted to Telehealth Visits. This means you will meet one of our providers via phone or video call. Our surgery center is open, but serving a very limited set of patients. Mainly, it is currently limited to patients experiencing symptoms or that must be seen in order to avoid a trip to the hospital.
As the Covid-19 threat tapers off and executive orders relax we will begin moving back to our regular services. If you are scheduled for either type of visit, know that our staff will reach out to you to reschedule or change the type of appointment you are scheduled for.
Kicking Off Colon Cancer Awareness Month, 2020!
We kicked off Colon Cancer Awareness Month with Dress in Blue Day – Friday the 6th. We’ll be dressing blue throughout the month and wearing this year’s “This is my colon cancer fighting shirt” t-shirts every Friday. Join us and dress in blue!
Why? This year, more than 147,000 people will be diagnosed with this highly preventable disease. They will join more than 1.4 million colorectal cancer patients and survivors living today. We go blue for them, their families, and their community. >>
2019 Wrap Up
It was a busy year for us at Salem Gastro.
A couple of highlights:
We received 2019 Top Workplaces award from the Oregonian – Oregon Live. This is a big deal! This award is the result of a survey of our employees and their reflections on their workplace. Salem Gastro is honored to be part of this group of distinguished businesses. It is great to be able to celebrate our success in creating a positive work environment.
Celebrating Colon Cancer Awareness
We have been making customized T-shirts each year for the last 5-6 years and our staff can wear any of them they still have during the month of March.
This month we are celebrating Colon Cancer Awareness with some special T-shirts, office decorations and other exciting activities. Here are a couple pictures of our staff and their T-shirts.
We also had several offices around town decorate their offices with Blue for CCA month. We’ve ordered up a couple billboards and generally tried to make people aware of Colon Cancer and how easy it is to prevent.
