[2] [3] At the time, it had 56-beds and was located on South Baker Street in downtown near Linfield College. [4] The facility had grown to 78 beds in 1975 when it planned to add 9 more beds. [5] By 1985 the hospital was renamed as McMinnville Community Hospital. [6] In September 1987, Hospital Corporation of America sold the hospital and 101 other medical centers to Health Trust, a company created by the employees. [7]
In 1994, owner Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation approved the construction of a new campus near the city's airport. [3] Built on the 35 acres (140,000 m2) the new facility cost $45 million to build [3] and was more than twice as big as the former hospital. [4] The new 67-bed campus opened in March 1996 [8] and was constructed by McDevitt Street Bovis. [9] The hospital was then renamed to "Columbia Willamette Valley Medical Center". [8]

[12] In October 2002, a 8,000-square-foot (740 m2) cancer treatment center was opened at a cost of $5.5 million. [3] Community Health Systems purchased Triad in a $6.8 billion deal in July 2007, acquiring the McMinnville medical center.
