McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center

McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center is an acute care hospital located in Springfield, Oregon, United States.

[7][8] After a state-mandated public review period, Oregon Attorney General Hardy Myers announced his approval for the joint venture.

[10] This reorganized the hospital from a non-profit organization, into a for-profit, limited liability company.

Triad Hospitals has since been bought out by Community Health Systems, Inc.[1] On November 16, 2005, McKenzie-Willamette announced that they had struck a deal to purchase 42 acres (17 ha) from River Ridge Golf Course, north of Eugene.

This idea was immediately met with community concern about the impact it would have on traffic and the local property values.
