New Hospital Dedication Ceremony
Our new Wallowa Memorial Hospital is located in Enterprise Oregon in the heart of Wallowa County. Surrounded by the Wallowa Mountains, the beauty of the area captures your heart. We are home to northeast Oregon’s newest hospital. In the spring of 2007, construction was completed on our new 52,000 square foot facility. The project which began in 2005, includes 20 patient rooms, including Labor and Delivery Rooms, 25 beds total, with state of the art equipment and technology. You can view construction photos here and see how the project progressed.
The dedication ceremony took place March 11, 2007 with over 280 people in attendance. After the ceremony the hospital was opened to the public for tours, with about 1,500 people from throughout the community taking advantage of this one time opportunity.
