Sky Lakes Medical Center

Sky Lakes Medical Center is a community-owned, not-for-profit hospital based in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Founded in 1965, it operates as a 176-bed teaching hospital serving a 10,000-square-mile area across south-central Oregon and northern California.

The medical center provides comprehensive acute-care services, including primary care, specialty care, cancer treatment, emergency services, and behavioral health services covering mental health and substance abuse treatment. As a community-owned institution, decisions are made locally with a focus on patient care.

For those transitioning from military or law enforcement careers, Sky Lakes offers roles in a structured, mission-driven healthcare environment. The organization's not-for-profit model and community orientation provide an alternative setting where operational discipline and service ethos translate well into patient-facing and support roles.
