The group of doctors who bought bankrupt Woodland Park Hospital in Northeast Portland said Tuesday that they plan to reopen the facility by November and will initially hire about 100 nurses, physicians, maintenance workers and administrators. "
This sounds like good news for Northeast Portland:
"Woodland Park Hospital first opened in 1962 with 50 beds. When the hospital closed in January of this year, 245 employees lost their jobs.
O'Leary, a registered nurse, said she expects the hospital to be profitable in its first year and looks forward to its November opening.
'We're local,' she said. 'We're not here to build an empire. We're here to take care of patients.' "
