Most Oregon hospitals made a profit in 2020, thanks to federal help
Amelia Templeton
Oregon hospitals made it through the pandemic and turned a profit in 2020, but they would have lost money on day-to-day operations without federal aid from the CARES Act.
According to data released by the Oregon Health Authority this week, the state’s 64 hospitals ended 2020 with a combined $483 million surplus in operating revenue.
That includes money from providing patient care, cafeteria and gift sales and federal aid. Hospitals received about $620 million in CARES Act funds.
Two of Oregon’s hospitals are for-profit: McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center in Springfield and Willamette Valley Medical Center in McMinnville. The remainder are nonprofits.
