[edit] History

Tuality Healthcare’s beginning starts in 1918 when Minnie Jones Coy started a small hospital in Hillsboro.[3] Over the next 65 years that hospital expanded to nearly 100 hospital beds, and in 1982 purchased an additional hospital in Forest Grove, Oregon. Then in 1983 the community ownership group formed Fontus as a healthcare organization. This organization comprised the two hospitals and the Tuality Medical Foundation.[3]
