Mario Pastega House

For over 20 years the Mario Pastega House has provided a home away from home for countless families during times of medical crisis. More than just a place to stay, it provides a community of support during challenging times.

Welcome to the Mario Pastega House

Located on the campus of Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis, the Mario Pastega House offers a warm and supportive place to stay for patients and families traveling from outside the area for specialized medical care. Just steps from the hospital, it provides the comfort of home during what can often be an uncertain or stressful time.

Nestled in a wooded landscape on two scenic acres, the house offers a peaceful, natural setting that gives families a place to pause, rest and stay close to those they’re caring for. From the moment of arrival, the environment feels calm, welcoming and intentionally designed to ease the experience of being away from home.

Inside, thoughtfully appointed guest suites provide a quiet, restorative retreat, each carefully designed with comfort and convenience in mind. Features such as high-quality mattresses, medical-grade recliners, soothing artwork and abundant natural light reflect attention to detail and a commitment to supporting rest and healing.

Flexible room arrangements, including adjoining suites, help accommodate families who want to remain close to one another, while ADA-accessible rooms support the comfort and ease of use of guests who need them. Every element of the Mario Pastega House, from its calming environment to its carefully considered amenities, exists to ease the burden on families, so they can focus on what matters most — being close by to support their loved one.

About Mario Pastega

Mario Pastega (Dec. 16, 1916 – Jan. 20, 2012) was well known in the community as a philanthropist and the president of Pepsi Bottling Company of Corvallis. In 2002, he was named to the National Bottlers Hall of Fame for his industry leadership.

Active in many community organizations and noted for his generosity, he was a member of the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation Board of Trustees from 1981 to 2011. He was co-chair, along with Jean Starker Roth, of the foundation’s fund drive to build the Ralph Hull Regional Heart Center, which opened in 2002.

In 2002, Mario and Alma Pastega made a $350,000 pledge to initiate the construction of a guest house on the campus of Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis. The Good Samaritan Hospital Board of Trustees voted to name the facility The Mario Pastega Hospitality House in recognition of this gift.

In addition to giving financial assistance, Pastega agreed to lead a fund drive to raise additional money for the house: approximately another $800,000 for construction and $1.5 million for an endowment. The children of Mario and Alma Pastega donated $50,000 to the fund drive, and many community members have made contributions to the Mario Pastega House Endowment in honor of his memory.
