Salem Health fast facts

Salem Health Hospitals and Clinics is the premier health care provider for Oregon’s Mid-Willamette Valley. Made up of Salem Hospital, West Valley Hospital, Salem Health Medical Clinics and numerous other affiliated services — we’ve provided pioneering medicine since 1896.

We are proud to be a community-based, not-for-profit institution. Our board of trustees is made up of 13 volunteers who share a common belief: Our duty is to heal the sick and injured — not to answer to stockholders.

Salem Hospital is one of the largest of Oregon's 62 acute care hospitals and operates the busiest emergency department on the West Coast. It is a not-for-profit hospital, licensed for 644 acute-care beds. 

The hospital is the Salem's largest private employer, with more than 5,419 employees. West Valley Hospital rounds out our numbers with an additional 260 employees.

There are about 924 providers on the medical staff at Salem Health. In addition, about 300 people provide nonmedical support as volunteers in both Salem and Dallas.
