History

Originally titled as Southwest Hospital while under proposal beginning in 1968, it was renamed as Meridian Park when it opened after the Willamette Meridian, which bisects the hospital grounds. [2] The medical facility was a joint venture between Emanuel Hospital (now Legacy Emanuel) and Physicians and Surgeons Hospital (now defunct), which formed Metropolitan Hospitals. [2] Groundbreaking occurred in 1971 and the hospital opened in 1973 when the city of Tualatin had a population of 750 at the 1970 Census [3] and prior to the construction of now neighboring Interstate 205. [2] The facility was built on 48 acres (190,000 m2) in a rural area at the edge of the Portland metropolitan area and employed 109 people when it opened. [2]

In 1989, Emanuel Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital, and Mount Hood Medical Center merged to create Legacy Health System, with Meridian Park becoming Legacy Meridian Park Hospital. [4] A community health center was added in 1990 at a cost of $1 million. [5] In May 1992, a $14 million expansion began that included a new maternity ward. [6] In 1998, Meridian Park began a $21 million expansion. [2] The construction added 50,000 square feet (4,600 m2) of space and 32 hospital beds. [7]

By 2002, the hospital was the ninth busiest in Oregon and served the cities of Tualatin, Tigard, Sherwood, Wilsonville, King City, and Lake Oswego among others. [2] At that time it employed almost 800 people and was the largest employer in the city of Tualatin. [2] A lab technician was arrested in 2003 on accusations of fondling patients. [8] In 2005, the emergency department was expanded with a separate area for children created. [9] The hospital purchased 20 acres (8.1 ha) of adjacent land in 2006 for $7 million to allow for future expansion of the campus. [10] Zoned for residential use that would also allow for hospital usage, the hospital requested a change in zoning in 2009 to ensure they could expand onto the site at a later date. [10]
