One of the state’s newest mergers is under way between large Portland-based Legacy Health and a small Willamette Valley community hospital.
Silverton Health is the newest addition to the Legacy family. The previously independent Silverton chose to align with Legacy last year after a long search that involved careful consideration of Providence Health and Services, with community members ultimately choosing a secular nonprofit over a Catholic one.
Now Silverton’s hospital has taken the Legacy name.
In this week’s in-depth review of Legacy, we look at the most recent available financial data about Silverton and each of the other Oregon hospitals in the Legacy family. Figures draw from audited reports prepared by each hospital and submitted to the Office for Oregon Health Policy & Research, the state-mandated Databank program, the Oregon Health Authority, and other sources.
