History

In 1904, the hospital was established in McMinnville. [1] [2] Known originally as McMinnvile Hospital, it was expanded in 1931, 1957, and 1968 before it was purchased by Hospital Corporation of America in 1971. [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 as Columbia Willamette Valley Medical Center. [8]

The hospital was named one of America's 100 Top Hospitals in 1995 by Mercer Health Care Provider Consulting and HCIA, Inc. out of 3,400 hospitals nationwide. [10] A occupational medicine clinic was added in 1999. [11] In 1999, Columbia/HCA created two subsidiaries and sold the hospital to Triad, one of those two spin-offs. [12]

In 2001, the hospital had revenues of $88.3 million and an operating profit of $10.5 million. [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. [13] In March 2008, the hospital was one of nine facilities sold by Community Health Systems to Capella Healthcare. [13]
