Providence Newberg Medical Center

Providence Newberg Medical Center is a not-for-profit Level IV acute care hospital in Newberg, Oregon, United States. Opened at a different location as Newberg Community Hospital, a new 40-licensed-hospital-bed and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design -certified facility was opened in 2006, the first gold certified hospital in the nation. The three building medical center is located on 56 acres on the eastern edge of the city along Oregon Route 99W and is owned by Providence Health & Services.

In 1957, the city of Newberg opened Newberg Community Hospital, with three additions built later. The Sisters of Providence Health System took over management of the facility in 1986. In 1993, the city owned hospital dealt with issues regarding administrator Mark Meinert who was accused by the city council of ethical violations concerning self-dealing involving his wife. The hospital was overseen by a city commission and still operated by the Sisters of Providence. Later in the year a member of the city council also accused the hospital’s administration with other ethics violations concerning travel and the use of public money.
