Our new Emergency Department has larger private rooms to accommodate modern medical equipment and multiple staff, if needed; separate care pathways to meet the unique needs of certain patient populations such as senior citizens; and includes a new well-lit, covered entrance and complimentary valet parking.
Legacy Urgent Care - Good Samaritan is Oregon’s first and only Urgent Care co-located within a hospital Emergency Department. It is designed with the care and service needs of lower acuity patient but with direct access to the Emergency Department in the event of a more serious medical issue.
