How did Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital come to be?
In 1963, a committee was formed to study the feasibility of building a hospital in Lincoln City. That committee became a formal group by a vote of the people in 1965.
This new five-member North Lincoln Health District board of directors was charged with overseeing the construction and operation of a hospital facility. Construction was funded by a tax levy, federal grant and the sale of general obligation bonds. The new hospital admitted six patients when it opened its doors on Oct. 21, 1968.
Due to growth of the hospital and advances in health care, the North Lincoln Health District voted to sign a 30-year management agreement with Samaritan Health Services in 2000. Samaritan’s motto, “Building Healthier Communities Together” acknowledges that Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital belongs to all of the residents of north Lincoln County.
Further contributing to our community’s well being, the health district partnered with the City of Lincoln City, North Lincoln Hospital Foundation and Samaritan Health Services to build a permanent home for the Samaritan Early Learning Center, the county's only five-star rated childcare center for infants, toddlers and children.
In the fall of 2015, Samaritan Health Services and the health district announced plans to construct a new hospital and medical campus on the current site, replacing the nearly 50-year old building.
