New OHSU Expansion

OHSU has always been a shining jewel atop the hill here in Portland, and now, that jewel is about to get a little bigger. 

A 5-year, $650M project has just been approved to add almost 200 new beds and more operating rooms.  According to the President of the hospital, Danny Jacobs, MD, ““OHSU Hospital exists to enhance the health and well-being of Oregonians. Investing in our people, programs and places allows us to improve the care provided to patients and the educational experiences available for learners, and bolsters our ability to make life-changing research discoveries.  The Hospital Expansion Project is an opportunity for OHSU to serve even more Oregon residents, and I am pleased that our board of directors supports this transformational effort that will benefit so many.”

They’ll start in the spring, and be done 5 years from now, which is the same timeline for the deck I want to build at my house, and knowing me, about the same cost.
