Hospital under investigation

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) launched an investigation into Providence Milwaukie under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. The federal law ensures public access to emergency services regardless of a patient's ability to pay. Milwaukie police responded to a call on 12/12/2023. Hospital staff told the responding officers that a homeless man was discharged after receiving care, but refused to leave. The Milwaukie police released bodycam from the night of 12/12/2023 after a man died after being discharged and transported.

Providence Milwaukie in a statements says "we can do better", but weeks later a TriMet bus driver said he felt "forced" by guard at Providence Milwaukie Hospital to pick up woman in crisis.

After reviewing all the facts under our nose we have a lot to say, even our own experiences.
