Contents

It was established as Corvallis General Hospital in 1913. The Episcopal Church in Western Oregon, enabled the hospital's reorganization as a not-for-profit facility in 1948. More than 2,669 employees and over 200 volunteers support its operations and the SHS mission of "building healthier communities together". During 2022, GSRMC served 7,926 inpatients, had 31,870 emergency department visits, performed 9,904 surgeries and delivered 950 babies. In addition, GSRMC performed 115,454 imaging procedures. [3]

The hospital serves as the hub for the operations of Samaritan Health Services. [4] It is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.

History

Started as Corvallis General Hospital, the original facility was located on Northwest Harrison Boulevard. [5] After World War II the hospital was on the brink of bankruptcy, unable to pay off its bonds. In an effort to retire the debt the hospital was put under the auspices of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon.

In 1948, Corvallis General was reconstituted as a nonprofit organization and renamed Samaritan Inc. Good Samaritan Hospital. [6]

In 1975, the hospital moved to its current location on an 84-acre campus in North Corvallis overlooking Oregon Route 99W and became a part of what is now know as the Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center. [5] [7] The hospital has maintained its affiliation with the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon and has continued to thrive. Today it is the flagship institution of Samaritan Health Services. [8]

The original hospital building on Harrison was demolished in 2011. [5] A four-story 68-unit apartment complex named The Union was built in its place in 2012. [9]

In 2020, the hospital treated patients for COVID-19 infection, as the global pandemic developed. [10]

Operations

The medical center has 188 licensed beds, but only has 165 available,[ clarification needed ] and is the only hospital in Benton County. [11] Services at the facility include 22 medial specialties such as maternity, surgery, radiology, heart and vascular services, pediatrics, mental health, an intensive care unit, oncology, laboratory services, neurology, dialysis, and emergency services, among others. [12] It is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO). [13]

The acute care facility is one of only 6 level two trauma centers in the State of Oregon and serves the entire county, plus portions of neighboring counties. [14] More than 2,669 employees and over 200 volunteers support its operations and the SHS mission of "building healthier communities together". During 2022, GSRMC served 7,926 inpatients, had 31,870 emergency department visits, performed 9,904 surgeries and delivered 950 babies. In addition, GSRMC performed 115,454 imaging procedures. [3]

The Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center Hospital Heliport is located at the hospital.

The residencies train physicians specializing in: dermatology, family medicine, internal medicine, psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, and cardiology. [15] In addition to medical education, the hospital also runs residency training programs in psychology, pharmacy, and sports physical therapy. [15] [16] [17] The physical therapy program is accredited by the American Board of Physical Therapy Residency and Fellowship Education. [18]

It also has a partnership with Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, Northwest (COMP-NorthWest), the first Oregon medical school to open in more than 100 years. [2]
