Opened in 1975, the Kaiser Permanente owned facility is licensed for 233 hospital beds. Located in the Portland metropolitan area along Interstate 205 on the eastside, it was Kaiser's only hospital in the Portland area until Westside Medical Center opened in 2013. The hospital includes Clackamas County's only heart surgery facility.HistoryKaiser Permanente opened the Sunnyside hospital on Portland’s eastside in 1975. Politician Mary Wendy Roberts was treated at the hospital and underwent surgery in 1978 for internal bleeding. In 1983, the hospital contained 125 beds, which grew to 150 beds in 1985. The south wing at the facility opened in 1984 as doctors' offices after initially being planned as standard patient rooms with hospital beds. At completion of the structure, it was determined there was then over capacity in hospital beds, and the space was converted to offices. These offices were remodeled for $4 million in 2002 to 2003, re-opening as a 20-bed unit in 2003.The hospital treated Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding in March 1994 for injuries from an assault in a park. In 2000, the stroke unit was named as one of the top 100 in the nation by the HCIA-Sachs Institute. Parking garages were opened on the campus in 2003 and 2005.
