Move Patients. Keep Care Flowing. Be Part of Something Bigger.

If you enjoy being on your feet, staying active throughout the day, and making a real impact behind the scenes of patient care, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for. Join the Patient Transport team at PeaceHealth RiverBend, where your work helps patients safely reach the care, testing, procedures, and services they need across one of Oregon's leading hospitals.

Why PeaceHealth? Why Now?

• Get your foot in the door at a nationally recognized healthcare system. This is an excellent entry point for CNAs looking to build hospital experience and explore future career growth opportunities.

What to Expect

This is a physically active role that keeps you moving throughout the hospital for much of your shift. You'll spend your day walking, pushing transport equipment, coordinating with multiple departments, and helping ensure patients arrive safely and on time for the care they need.
