Skyline Hospital, governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners, has always garnered great public support. And no where is that more evident than in the series of upgrades they have undergone about every ten years since inception. Skyline Hospital was originally constructed in 1952 through the Hill-Burton Act, with the addition of one wing in the early 1970’s.
Another $2.7 million renovation (funded through a super-majority bond) in 1998 enhanced the facility with a new surgery suite, emergency room, physical therapy room, laboratory and admitting area. A year later, the hospital purchased an adjoining seven-acre parcel of land to facilitate our long-range plans.
In May 2010 Skyline celebrated the grand re-opening of the new state-of-the-art patient wing and full-service radiology center. This marks an exciting moment for Skyline, a community hospital that is finally turning heads in the medical world with the recent acquisition and installation of some of the best diagnostic imaging equipment in the Gorge.
