Inpatient Addition
OHSU’s Marquam Hill campus is growing. Our Hospital Expansion Project will increase our ability to care for Oregonians of all ages while supporting our research and education missions.
Why we’re expanding
OHSU has been at or near capacity for adults for years. Based on our population, Oregon is one of the states with the fewest adult hospital beds.
In 2019, the OHSU board approved funding to design the expansion. Then the COVID-19 pandemic put the project on hold. Since then, the need for more hospital beds has become more urgent.
Expansion will:
- Give more people access to advanced care, including complex but nonurgent surgery.
- Meet the needs of Oregon’s aging population.
- Keep up with growth in the Portland area and beyond.
- Put OHSU’s capacity on par with that of similar health care institutions on the West Coast.
