Providence Portland Medical Center is a 483-bed tertiary care facility located on Portland’s east side. Recognized as a Top 100 hospital and a Nursing Magnet hospital, Providence Portland combines the cutting-edge technology of a world-class research center with the intellectual rigor of an academic medical center and the patient-centered focus of a community hospital.
The hospitalists at Providence Portland Medical Center are defined by their commitment to their patients and to one another; you will not meet a more cohesive team of hospitalists. Their daily staffing consists of nine day-shift hospitalist physicians, two swing-shift physicians and two night-shift nocturnist physicians.
Launched in 1999, the Providence Portland hospitalist program has enjoyed steady growth and consistent support from both the hospital administration and the physician community. The program is an integral part of the Providence Portland Internal Medicine Residency Program, where our hospitalists find ample opportunity for teaching.
Community benefit investments are one way Providence lives its Mission. For generations, we’ve offered a caring hand to those with the greatest need in our community.
In the past year, we devoted millions in community benefit to make sustainable improvements in the health of our diverse communities throughout Oregon.

In the face of rapidly changing health care, our commitment to our Mission to care for everyone remains unchanged.
This ministry greatly depends on partnering with others in the community who are equally committed to doing good and improving the health of all. Together with community partners we conduct community health assessments to understand what our community needs are. Then with our partners, we identify the greatest unmet needs among the people in the communities we serve. These include lack of access to affordable care; lack of access to mental health services; poverty and homelessness; and barriers to healthy behaviors and disease prevention.
