Health Care in Corvallis, Oregon
The medical community has joined the university and the high-tech industry as one of the area’s top three major employers. Corvallis functions as a regional healthcare center and enjoys unusually sophisticated health services for a community of its size.
Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center and the Corvallis Clinic serve residents of Benton, Linn and Lincoln counties, providing award-winning medical care to approximately 250,000 residents of the region. Good Sam is the largest hospital in the area and offers specialty services including comprehensive cancer care, a full-service heart and vascular institute, inpatient mental health care, a wide array of integrative medicine services, and access to clinical trials through the Center for Health Research and Quality. The hospital is also a Level II trauma center, one of only three in Oregon. The hospital is part of an 84-acre campus north of town that houses a number of medical office buildings as well as the Mario Pastega House, which serves as a comfortable and low-cost “home away from home” for out-of-area patients and their families traveling to Corvallis for medical care. Good Sam is part of Samaritan Health Services, a healthcare system encompassing five hospitals, a senior care facility and 72 physicians’ clinics in the three-county area.
More than 200 physicians representing 35 specialty areas serve Corvallis-area residents. The largest specialty clinic is The Corvallis Clinic. The Corvallis Clinic has been providing quality healthcare to the region since 1947. Specialists at The Corvallis Clinic are available to provide care for all members of the family, with departments ranging from immediate care to oncology, from obstetrics to pediatrics. Samaritan’s comprehensive cancer care, heart institute and Intensive Care Unit are supported and staffed by the Corvallis Clinic’s specialists, as well as Samaritan’s own team of highly skilled and specialized healthcare providers.
Many more quality physicians practice either with the hospital-affiliated Samaritan Health Physicians or in independent group practices located throughout the city. The fastest-growing independent group practice is Corvallis Family Medicine, providing comprehensive healthcare from obstetrics to geriatrics.
