History

Kaiser Permanente opened the Sunnyside hospital on Portland's eastside in 1975. [2] Politician Mary Wendy Roberts was treated at the hospital and underwent surgery in 1978 for internal bleeding. [3] In 1983, the hospital contained 125 beds, [4] which grew to 150 beds in 1985. [5] The south wing at the facility opened in 1984 as doctors' offices after initially being planned as standard patient rooms with hospital beds. [6] At completion of the structure, it was determined there was then over capacity in hospital beds, and the space was converted to offices. These offices were remodeled for $4 million in 2002 to 2003, re-opening as a 20-bed unit in 2003. [6]

The hospital treated Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding in March 1994 for injuries from an assault in a park. [7] In 2000, the stroke unit was named as one of the top 100 in the nation by the HCIA-Sachs Institute. [8] Parking garages were opened on the campus in 2003 and 2005. [9]

Kaiser Sunnyside completed construction of a four-story building at a cost of $88 million in 2007. [10] An expanded oncology department with 20 beds opened in that wing in January 2009. [10] [11] In April 2009, the hospital opened a 40-bed cardiac unit used for open heart surgery. [12] This unit includes three surgery suites and was in planning since 2003. [13] Both the cardiac unit and expanded cancer care were part of a $150 million expansion that added 241,655 square feet (22,450.5 m2) with 170 beds and additional medical office space to the campus. [14] [15] [16]
