Medical Center, formerly Tuality Healthcare has always been
committed to our community. It's a part of how we care for each
other, and part of what makes this place different. We had a humble
start in 1918 when an enterprising woman named Minnie Jones Coy
started a small six-bed hospital in her Hillsboro home. She brought
together independent physicians under one roof to treat the sick
and provide a safe place for mothers to give birth. A century after
Minnie made her commitment to the people of Hillsboro, her vision
continues as we provide world-class health care to patients. As
part of our affiliation with OHSU Health, we've changed our name to
Hillsboro Medical Center. This new moniker reflects our expanded
services and clinic locations that provide patients living in
Hillsboro and western Washington County greater access to primary
and specialty care.Hillsboro Medical Center believes in providing
equal employment opportunities for all qualified individuals.
Recruitment, hiring, promotions, transfers, working conditions,

practical application of this policy in our daily business
conduct.
