Legacy Holladay Park Medical Center

Hospital in Oregon, United States

Legacy Holladay Park Medical Center was a hospital located in Portland, Oregon, United States. It was founded in 1893 as Hahnemann Hospital.[1] By 1947 the hospital had 100 beds, and that year it changed its name to Holladay Park Hospital with plans to expand to 200 beds.[1] With a 1985 merger with Physicians & Surgeons Hospital (which had been known as Coffey Memorial Hospital until 1945), the name was changed to Holladay Park Medical Center.[2] At that time both hospitals were part of Metropolitan Hospitals, Inc. that had been formed by Physicians & Surgeons Hospital and Emanuel Hospital.[2] After becoming part of Legacy Health when it was formed in 1989, Legacy closed the then 171-bed hospital in 1994.[3][4] As of 2014, the former hospital was used by Legacy as the Legacy Research Institute.[3] Legacy proposed converting the building into an emergency room for psychiatric patients in 2014 after the Legacy Research Institute moved to a new building.[5] Legacy, Oregon Health & Science University, Adventist Health, and Kaiser Permanente agreed to operate the ER, with a planned opening in 2016.[6] The facility became Unity Center for Behavioral Health.
