Mission
Legacy Health (Legacy), formed in 1970, is a unique health care system founded on the tradition and values of community health care organizations, the healing ministries of the Lutheran and Episcopal Churches and community physicians. This system of health care providers is dedicated to caring, compassion and excellence. The individual strengths and traditions that each provider brings enable Legacy, as a system, to be of greater benefit to the communities Legacy serves in its common mission. Legacy is the largest Oregon-based, nonprofit health care system in the State of Oregon and is one of the largest employers in the Portland metropolitan area. Legacy provides an integrated network of health care services, including acute and critical care, inpatient and outpatient treatment, primary and specialty physician services, hospice, laboratory, research, education and a variety of specialty services. Facilities within the System include six hospitals, inpatient and home hospice programs,
