Information About

Woodland Park Hospital





HISTORY

Woodland Park opened in . Both hospitals then closed two years later. Then in 2005 Woodland Park re-opened under local ownership as Physicians’ Hospital after receiving some financing from the Portland Development Commission .


CLOSING

In July of 2005 the hospital itself was forced to call 911 when no doctors were on staff and a Medical Emergency occurred. The patient was then transferred to another hospital where she died. This incident would help lead to the hospital losing Medicare certification. Within a year other problems with patient care would lead to the facility closing on May 26, 2006. At closing, the hospital was licensed by the state to operate 200 hospital beds, but was only operating around 40. In August of 2006 the property was bought by Medical Properties Trust Inc. for $17.8 million with plans for Vibra Healthcare to operate a long-term acute care medical facility at the site after renovations.
