PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center is a 256-bed hospital located in Longview, Washington.[1] Opened in 1943, it is operated by the PeaceHealth System.
Longview Memorial hospital was opened in 1924, but closed by 1943.[2] In December 1943, the former hospital was purchased by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace for $85,000 and re-opened as St. John's Hospital.[2] The hospital was expanded in 1952 and again in 1968 when new patient tower was added.[2] Further expansions came in 1982, 1992, and 1999.[2] A Life Flight Network helicopter was positioned at the hospital starting in 2008.[3] In August 2013, the hospital laid off 30 people, bringing the total number of staff to about 1,200.[4] For the fiscal year ending in 2015, St. John's profit totaled $1.9 million.[5] Providence's Telestroke Network was added to the hospital in November 2016.[6] In December 2016, the Life Flight helicopter was moved from St. John's to the Southwest Washington Regional Airport in neighboring Kelso.[3]
