Story

Tuality Forest Grove Hospital is a 48 bed general care hospital in Forest Grove, Oregon, United States. Built in 1963, the facility employs approximately 100 healthcare professionals.HistoryConstruction on a hospital began in 1962. In 1963, the $412,000 facility opened as Forest Grove Community Hospital. The hospital founders sold it in 1967 to a local business group, who in-turn sold the hospital again in 1976 to American Medical International. Forest Grove's hospital was then remodeled and updated at that time, with a new $450,000 wing added that brought capacity to 48 beds in January 1977. In 1978, a new delivery area opened to allow entire labor-delivery-recovery-postpartum process to occur in a single room.In 1982, a medical office building was built on the campus and the hospital was purchased by Tuality Community Hospital in neighboring Hillsboro, Oregon. After the purchase, the ownership group created Fontus in 1983 as a healthcare organization. In 1990, the hospital was renamed as Tuality Forest Grove Hospital. In 1995, a geriatric psychiatric unit was added to the facility, and in 1999 a dialysis unit opened. The maternity unit was discontinued in 1996 as part of a re-organization of the parent company. The hospital announced plans in July 2013 to expand the facility by 75 beds and add a parking structure. The long-term expansion plans would add wings to the existing structure and add a fourth floor.FacilityThe hospital has 48 beds and 25 full-time registered nurses. Tuality Forest Grove Community Hospital is owned and operated by Tuality Healthcare. The hospital includes a 22-bed psychiatric ward for geriatric patients.
