Oregon Health & Science University Hospital (OHSU Hospital) is a Level I trauma center and teaching hospital in Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon. Part of Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), the facility has 534 beds. Located on OHSU's Marquim Hill campus south of Downtown Portland, the hospital is adjacent to Doernbecher Children's Hospital and a Shriners Hospital for Children. OHSU Hospital is one of only two Level I trauma centers in Oregon.[1]

History

The hospital was the subject of a lawsuit in 2006 due to a surgery performed on former television personality Ken Ackerman.[2] The jury awarded Ackerman $1.4 million in the medical malpractice suit in a case that then spent years on appeal in the courts and saw a change in the Oregon Tort Claims Act while the case continued.[2] In October 2008, the hospital decided to postpone a $350 million expansion of its Kohler Pavilion wing.[3] The hospital did open 60 additional beds in the Kohler wing in February 2009, bringing the total number of hospital beds in the wing to 144.[4]

Details

The 534-bed hospital was ranked number 23 in the United States by U.S. News & World Report in 2011 for its ear, nose, and throat specialties.[5][6] It was also ranked number 32 for its urology care in pediatrics and number 35 for its cancer treatment in pediatrics.[5]
