Tuality Forest Grove Hospital is a 48 bed general care hospital in Forest Grove, Oregon, United States. Built in 1963, the facility employs approximately 100 healthcare professionals.[1]
History
Construction on a hospital began in 1962.[2] In 1963, the $412,000 facility opened as Forest Grove Community Hospital.[3] The hospital founders sold it in 1967 to a local business group, who in-turn sold the hospital again in 1976 to American Medical International.[3] Forest Grove's hospital was then remodeled and updated at that time, with a new $450,000 wing added that brought capacity to 48 beds in January 1977.[3][4] In 1978, a new delivery area opened to allow entire labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum process to occur in a single room.[3]
In 1982, a medical office building was built on the campus and the hospital was purchased by Tuality Community Hospital in neighboring Hillsboro, Oregon.[3] After the purchase, the ownership group created Fontus in 1983 as a healthcare organization. In 1990, the hospital was renamed as Tuality Forest Grove Hospital. In 1995, a geriatric psychiatric unit was added to the facility, and in 1999 a dialysis unit opened.[3] The maternity unit was discontinued in 1996 as part of a re-organization of the parent company.[5] The hospital announced plans in July 2013 to expand the facility by 75 beds and add a parking structure.[2] The long-term expansion plans would add wings to the existing structure and add a fourth floor.[2][6]
Facility
The hospital has 48 beds and 25 full-time registered nurses.[1] Tuality Forest Grove Community Hospital is owned and operated by Tuality Healthcare.[7] The hospital includes a 22-bed psychiatric ward for geriatric patients.[8]
