Tuality Healthcare is a non-profit, community health care organization based in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. Founded in 1983, the organization operates two community hospitals in Washington County, Oregon, and has been selected on several occasions as one of Oregon’s 100 Best Companies to Work For by Oregon Business magazine.
Tuality Healthcare’s beginning starts in 1918 when Minnie Jones Coy started a small hospital in Hillsboro. 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.
In 1986, the group built the Tuality Health Education Center at the Hillsboro campus, followed by the Tuality Health Information Resource Center in 1988. Then in 1992 Tuality Healthcare finished a 34,000-square-foot (3,200 m2) 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.
Tuality sold off its stake in the Tanasbourne Health Center in 2004 after a dispute with partner Providence Health & Services over the later's attempt to build a hospital in Hillsboro. The facility includes an urgent care clinic and doctor's offices. In both 2004 and 2005 the group was named one of the 100 Best Companies to work for in Oregon. In 2006, Tuality, in partnership with Pacific University, opened Pacific's Health Professions Campus at Tuality's downtown Hillsboro campus.Regence BlueCross BlueShield announced in May 2012 that some of its members would be moved to plans that would utilize Tuality's provider network. In October of that year an affiliation with former partner Providence Health & Services was announced that was to be a trial program.
