[edit] History
In 1963, at a cost of $412,000, Forest Grove Community Hospital opens to the public.[2] Next in 1967, the founders sell the hospital to a local business group. Then in 1976 it is sold again, this time to American Medical International and the hospital is remodeled and updated. Two years later a new delivery area is opened that allows for the entire labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum process to occur in a single room.[2]
Next, in 1982 a medical office building is built on the campus and the hospital is purchased by Tuality Community Hospital in neighboring Hillsboro, Oregon.[2] With this purchase, the ownership group creates Fontus in 1983 as a healthcare organization. Then in 1990, the hospital is re-named Tuality Forest Grove Hospital. In 1995 a geriatric psychiatric unit is added to the facility, and in 1999 a dialysis unit is added.[2] The maternity unit was discontinued in 1996 as part of a re-organization of the parent company.[3]
[edit] Facility
The hospital has 48 beds and 25 full time registered nurses.[1] Tuality Forest Grove Community Hospital is owned and operated by Tuality Healthcare.[4] The hospital includes a 22-bed psychiatric ward for geriatric patients.[5]
