OHSU president Danny Jacobs said: “OHSU Hospital exists to enhance the health and well-being of Oregonians. Investing in our people, programs and places allows us to improve the care provided to patients and the educational experiences available for learners, and bolsters our ability to make life-changing research discoveries.

“The Hospital Expansion Project is an opportunity for OHSU to serve even more Oregon residents, and I am pleased that our board of directors supports this transformational effort that will benefit so many.”

For patients around the state and beyond, the OHSU Hospital expansion will serve as a high-acuity trauma facility and a regional referral centre.

It will improve the ability to provide care for patients with critical needs.

The ground breaking ceremony for the five-year project is expected to take place next year, with completion planned in 2026.

Construction works will take place on the site of the former OHSU School of Dentistry.
