Building on Great Care in Newport
Your new and remodeled Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital is modern, efficient and flexible enough to adapt to the rapidly changing nature of health care delivery. It will continue to provide high quality health care for decades to come for our diverse coastal community.
Phase One: A three-story hospital addition was constructed. Inside you will find brand new Emergency, Diagnostic Imaging and Surgery departments on the first floor. Primary care and specialty medical clinics are on the second floor. The top floor is dedicated to inpatient care. This building opened to patients on Jan. 31, 2019.
Phase Two: Finished in late February 2020, this was the complete renovation and full seismic upgrade of the two-story structure built in 1988. With the two-story and three-story buildings seamlessly connected inside and out, patients can be assured of ease of access to all hospital and outpatient services at one location.
Phase Three: This involved demolishing the original single-story hospital that was built in 1951 and constructing expanded parking along the front of the hospital. This final phase was completed in October 2020.
