Providence Seaside Hospital, is a non-profit, general hospital in Seaside in the U.S. state of Oregon. The Critical Access Hospital on the Oregon Coast is part of Providence Health & Services' hospital network.[2]
History
In 1934, the former Mercer Hospital became Seaside Hospital.[3] The city sold bonds in 1945 to pay for a new hospital,[4] which opened the next year.[5] In December 1967, the Oregon State Board of Health approved funds for a new facility[6] to be located on land annexed into the city in January 1968.[7] The hospital was previously located at South Franklin Street and S Avenue.[7] Voters approved a $1.2 million bond in January 1968 to build a 55-bed hospital.[8] A labor in February 2015 that started at the hospital led to a $1.9 million lawsuit when the baby died at a Portland hospital, with the lawsuit later settled.[9][10]
Details
The hospital is licensed for 56 beds, but operates 25 as of 2015.[2] Services at Providence Seaside include maternity, surgical, imaging, emergency room, and pediatrics, among others.[11] For 2014, the hospital had a total of 948 discharges, with 3,376 patient days, 111 surgeries, 109 births, and 9,023 emergency room visits.[2] For 2014, the hospital had $91.6 million in charges, provided $2 million in charity care, and had an operating revenue of $1.6 million.[2]
