[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]

In 1986, the group built the Tuality Health Education Center at the Hillsboro campus, followed by the Tuality Health Information Resource Center in 1988.[3] Then in 1992 Tuality Healthcare finished a 34,000 square foot medical office building in Hillsboro. In 1994, Tuality Health Alliance is formed, and in 2000 Tuality and Oregon Health Sciences University form a partnership to expand cancer treatment in Washington County with the facility opened in 2002.[3]

In both 2004 and 2005 the group was named one of the 100 Best Companies to work for in Oregon.[4][5] In 2006, Tuality, in partnership with Pacific University, opened Pacific's Health Professions Campus at Tuality's downtown Hillsboro campus.[6][7]
