Oregon's hospitals range from large academic campuses on Portland's Marquam Hill to small rural hospitals in towns such as Burns, Enterprise and Bandon. This page gathers hospital listings from Astoria to Ashland and from the coast to Baker City. The sections below explain who regulates these facilities, how care differs from region to region, and what to do before you head to one.

Who Licenses and Oversees Hospitals in Oregon

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is the state agency that licenses hospitals. Its Health Care Regulation and Quality Improvement program inspects facilities, reviews incident reports and investigates complaints. The governing statutes sit mainly in ORS chapter 441, and the licensing rules are in Oregon Administrative Rules chapter 333. A state license is separate from federal approval. Hospitals that bill Medicare or Medicaid must also meet federal Conditions of Participation, and most hold accreditation from a national body.

Ownership varies more than most people expect. Many Oregon hospitals belong to large nonprofit systems such as Providence, Legacy Health, PeaceHealth, Samaritan Health Services and Asante. Kaiser Permanente runs its own integrated network. Others are community-governed, and names like Harney District Hospital and Coquille Valley Hospital District point to that model. Oregon State Hospital is different again: OHA operates it directly as a state psychiatric facility.

Practitioners are regulated separately. The Oregon Medical Board licenses physicians, and the Oregon State Board of Nursing licenses nurses. Oregon's 2015 nurse staffing law also requires each hospital to run a staffing committee, and staffing complaints go to OHA. If you have a problem with care, start with the hospital's patient advocate or patient relations office. If that does not resolve it, take the complaint to OHA.

Portland Metro Hospitals: Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas Counties

The Portland area holds the heaviest concentration of hospitals in the state. Portland alone accounts for 19 of our listings, and Multnomah County has 18. The best-known single site is Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) on Marquam Hill, the state's academic medical center. Our directory lists its Casey Eye Institute at 3375 Southwest Terwilliger Boulevard, phone 503-494-3000. Casey is a specialty eye institute, so go there for eye care, not for general emergencies.

West of the city, Washington County listings include Tuality Healthcare at 335 Southeast 8th Avenue in Hillsboro, phone 503-681-1111. Hillsboro has three listings, as do Medford and Redmond. In Clackamas County, Kaiser Sunnyside Medical Center at 10180 Southeast Sunnyside Road serves the southeast suburbs.

In the metro area, your insurance often decides which hospital is practical. Kaiser members generally use Kaiser facilities for non-emergency care. Oregon Health Plan members are enrolled in a coordinated care organization, and each one contracts with its own set of hospitals. In a true emergency, go to the nearest emergency department regardless of network. Sort out billing afterward.

Oregon also runs a statewide trauma system overseen by OHA, with hospitals designated from Level I down to Level IV. Ambulance crews follow regional protocols, so for a serious injury, stroke or heart attack they may bypass the nearest hospital for one with the right capability. OHSU's Doernbecher Children's Hospital is a major pediatric referral center, and children with complex conditions from across the state are often sent there.

Willamette Valley, Southern Oregon and Central Oregon Hospitals

Salem, Albany, Corvallis and Eugene-Springfield

Salem has two listings, including Oregon State Hospital at 2600 Center Street Northeast, phone 503-945-2800, in Marion County. This is a psychiatric hospital for people placed there by courts or under state commitment law. It does not take walk-ins or run an emergency room. If someone is in a mental health crisis, call or text 988 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Further south, Samaritan Albany General Hospital at 1046 6th Avenue Southwest, phone 541-812-4000, serves Linn County. Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis serves Benton County, and both belong to Samaritan Health Services. In Lane County, our listings include Sacred Heart Medical Center Riverbend at 3333 Riverbend Drive in Springfield and Sacred Heart University District at 1255 Hilyard Street in Eugene. Smaller Lane County hospitals include Peacehealth Cottage Grove Community Hospital, phone 541-942-0511, and Peace Harbor Hospital in Florence.

Medford, Ashland, Roseburg, Bend and Redmond

Jackson County has four listings. Asante is listed at 2650 Siskiyou Boulevard in Medford, phone 541-789-7000, and Asante Ashland Community Hospital is at 280 Maple Street, phone 541-201-4000. Medford works as a regional referral center for Southern Oregon, so patients often arrive from well outside the county. Mercy Medical Center at 2700 Northwest Stewart Parkway in Roseburg anchors Douglas County.

In Central Oregon, St Charles Medical Center Bend at 2500 Northeast Neff Road, phone 541-382-4321, is the main hospital for Deschutes County and a referral destination for much of the high desert. Redmond has three listings, including Cascade Medical Clinic at 211 Northwest Larch Avenue, phone 541-548-2164. That one is a clinic, so check whether it offers the emergency or inpatient service you need. Madras, in Jefferson County, lists Mountain View Hospital at 470 Northeast A Street, phone 541-475-3882. The database entry carries a physician's name, so confirm services by phone before you go.

Rural, Coastal and Eastern Oregon Hospitals

Outside the I-5 corridor, hospitals are fewer and farther apart. Many small ones hold the federal critical access designation. It allows up to 25 inpatient beds and requires 24-hour emergency care, in exchange for cost-based Medicare payment. These hospitals stabilize patients and transfer the sickest to larger centers in Portland, Eugene, Medford or Bend.

On the coast, listings include Columbia Memorial Hospital at 2111 Exchange Street in Astoria, in Clatsop County, and Bay Area Hospital at 1775 Thompson Road in Coos Bay. Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center in Bandon and Coquille Valley Hospital District also serve Coos County, and there is a listing in Brookings in Curry County. Peace Harbor Hospital in Florence covers the central coast.

Eastern Oregon is the sparsest region. Saint Alphonsus Medical Center - Baker City is at 3325 Pocahontas Road in Baker. Harney District Hospital is at 557 West Washington Street in Burns, and Wallowa Memorial Hospital is at 601 Medical Parkway in Enterprise. Travel to a large hospital can take hours. Mountain passes can close in winter, so check ODOT's TripCheck before driving, and ask about air ambulance transfer in an emergency.

Costs, Coverage and Financial Help in Oregon

Federal law (EMTALA) requires any hospital with an emergency department to screen and stabilize you whatever your insurance or ability to pay. Hospitals must also post their standard charges online under the federal price transparency rule. Oregon law requires hospitals to have a financial assistance policy, and nonprofit hospitals must publish theirs under federal tax rules. Ask for the application before you pay a large bill, and ask about it even after discharge.

The Oregon Health Plan, the state's Medicaid program, is run by OHA and delivered through coordinated care organizations. You can apply online, by phone or with help from a community partner, and the plan accepts applications year-round. Hospital financial counselors can often start the application with you.

Planning Ahead for Hospital Care Across Oregon

Oregon's geography shapes every hospital decision. The state runs from the Pacific coast to the Idaho border, with the Cascades splitting the wet west from the dry east. Learn your closest emergency department before you need it, and learn the second closest too. In Portland that may be a five-minute decision. In Harney or Wallowa County it may mean a long drive or an air ambulance, so rural households benefit from a written plan with the hospital's number and a neighbor's number.

Check your coverage each year. Oregon Health Plan members should confirm their coordinated care organization and the hospitals it contracts with. People who buy marketplace insurance should check hospital networks, because a plan that works well in Portland may not cover a hospital in Roseburg or Bend.

Complete an Oregon advance directive and, if you have a serious illness, talk to your clinician about a POLST form. Oregon was the first state to develop POLST, and the Oregon POLST Registry lets emergency staff look up your orders. Keep copies at home and give one to your health care representative.

Use the listings on this page to confirm addresses, and call the main numbers where we show them. Several listings have no phone number in our records, so check the hospital's website or call 211 before you travel. A listing is not a statement of services, and hospitals change what they offer.

Hospital Questions Oregonians Ask

Start with the hospital's patient advocate or patient relations office, which can often fix billing and service problems quickly. If that does not work, you can complain to the Oregon Health Authority, which licenses hospitals and investigates concerns about care, safety and staffing through its Health Care Regulation and Quality Improvement program. Complaints about an individual doctor go to the Oregon Medical Board, and complaints about a nurse go to the Oregon State Board of Nursing. Keep dates, names, bills and records handy, and write your concerns down so an investigator can follow the sequence of events.

No. Under the federal EMTALA law, any hospital with an emergency department must give you a medical screening exam and stabilizing treatment regardless of insurance or ability to pay. The bill is a separate matter. Oregon requires hospitals to have financial assistance policies, and nonprofit hospitals must publish theirs, so ask for the application and a financial counselor. If your income is low, you may also qualify for the Oregon Health Plan, which you can apply for through the state. Ask whether the hospital will hold your account while your application is reviewed.

No. Oregon State Hospital, at 2600 Center Street Northeast in Salem, is a state psychiatric hospital operated by the Oregon Health Authority, not an emergency facility. Patients arrive through court orders, civil commitment or transfers rather than as walk-ins. The hospital also has a campus in Junction City. Families with questions about visiting can call the main line, 503-945-2800, though privacy law limits what staff can say about a patient without permission. If you or someone else is in a mental health crisis, call or text 988, call 911 for immediate danger, or go to the nearest emergency department.

Critical access is a federal designation for small rural hospitals. These hospitals keep no more than 25 inpatient beds, run a 24-hour emergency department, and receive cost-based Medicare payments so they can stay open in low-population areas. Oregon has a number of them in its less populated counties. Small hospitals such as Harney District Hospital in Burns and Wallowa Memorial Hospital in Enterprise are the kind of facility the program was built for. Call the hospital to confirm its designation and services. Expect serious trauma, stroke or heart cases to be stabilized and then transferred to a larger center.

Contact the hospital's health information management or medical records department, or use its online patient portal. Under HIPAA you have a right to see and obtain copies of your records, and the hospital generally has 30 days to respond. You may be charged a reasonable, cost-based fee for copies, though many portals provide electronic access at no cost. Bring photo ID, and expect to sign an authorization form if someone else is picking up the records for you. If a hospital has merged into a larger system, ask the current owner whether it holds the older records.

Call 911 first, because dispatchers send the right ambulance and can tell you which hospital is open and best equipped. Coastal listings include Columbia Memorial Hospital at 2111 Exchange Street in Astoria and Peace Harbor Hospital at 400 9th Street in Florence. In Coos County you will find Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay, Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center in Bandon and Coquille Valley Hospital District. Distances between coastal hospitals can be long, and Highway 101 can close after slides or crashes. Do not drive yourself during chest pain or stroke symptoms.
