Project is a part of an “ongoing investment” in McMinnville
Ascension Saint Thomas River Park Hospital has opened a newly renovated 10-bed inpatient unit on the facility’s third floor.
“The renovated unit features updated finishes and care standards consistent with River Park’s recently renovated 12-bed intensive care unit (ICU). These enhancements allow the hospital to more effectively serve patients locally, helping them remain close to home while receiving high-quality, patient-focused care,” according to the release.
According to the company, the project is a part of an “ongoing investment” in McMinnville.
“The new unit helps ensure more patients can receive care close to home,” according to the release.
STRP has nearly 400 employees.
“As our community continues to grow, it is essential that our hospital grows with it,” said Eric Paul, president of Ascension Saint Thomas River Park Hospital. “It’s another example of how we are investing in our patients, our caregivers, and our mission to serve the evolving health care needs of McMinnville and the surrounding communities.”
Recent upgrades include:
- Telemedicine stroke services (the return of acute dialysis to McMinnville)
- New robotic-assisted surgical technology
- Renovated 12-bed ICU
“Construction is also underway on a renovated and expanded emergency department, planned to open in spring 2026,” according to the release.
