Legacy Health

Legacy Health is a nonprofit health system headquartered in Portland, Oregon, that operates six acute care hospitals, a dedicated children's hospital, a 24-hour mental and behavioral health center, and more than 70 primary, specialty, and urgent care clinics across the Portland/Vancouver metropolitan area and the mid-Willamette Valley.^[1] Founded in 1989 through the merger of several historic hospitals—including Good Samaritan Hospital (established 1875), Legacy Emanuel Medical Center (1912), Legacy Mount Hood Medical Center (1922), and Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center (1973)—the system has since expanded with the addition of Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center in 2005, Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel in 2012, and Legacy Silverton Medical Center in 2016.^[1] Guided by its mission of "Good health for our people, our patients, our communities and our world," Legacy Health employs nearly 14,000 staff members as of fiscal year 2025 and affiliates almost 3,000 physicians and providers to deliver a wide range of services, including wellness programs, advanced surgical procedures, rehabilitation, burn treatment, eye care, laboratory diagnostics, hospice care, and medical research.^[1] The organization serves approximately 2.5 million residents in Oregon and southwest Washington, emphasizing patient-centered care, community partnerships, and environmental sustainability initiatives.^[1] Legacy Health was recognized as one of Forbes' Best Large Employers in 2023.^[1] In 2024–2025, the system pursued but ultimately abandoned a merger with Oregon Health & Science University, while facing financial pressures leading to the closure of several clinics in Clark County starting November 2025.^[2]^[3] Committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, the system integrates these principles across its operations while fostering global health volunteering and innovative collaborations to address regional health needs.^[1]

Overview

Organization and Scope

Legacy Health is a not-for-profit healthcare system headquartered in Portland, Oregon, operating as one of the region's primary providers of integrated medical services.^[1]^[4] It encompasses six hospitals, a dedicated children's hospital, a 24-hour mental and behavioral health center, and more than 70 primary care, specialty, and urgent care clinics, delivering a broad spectrum of inpatient, outpatient, and community-based care.^[1] In late 2025, Legacy closed several urgent care clinics, including all in Washington state, amid financial challenges, while maintaining over 70 clinics overall.^[5] The organization employs approximately 14,000 staff members and maintains a provider network of nearly 3,000 physicians and advanced practitioners, enabling comprehensive care coordination across its facilities.^[1]^[6] Legacy Health serves a population of 2.5 million residents in the Portland metropolitan area, Vancouver, Washington, and the mid-Willamette Valley, focusing on both urban and rural access to healthcare.^[1] Tied for the largest health system in Oregon with Providence as of 2024, it holds a significant market position.^[7] In terms of operational scale, Legacy Health manages an annual operating revenue of approximately $3.0 billion as of fiscal year 2025 (ended March 31, 2025), supporting high-volume patient care including over 57,000 hospital discharges and 335,000 patient days annually.^[8] This financial foundation underpins its integrated services in areas such as emergency care, behavioral health, and specialized outpatient treatments, ensuring sustained delivery to millions of patient visits each year.^[1]

Mission and Values

Legacy Health's mission is "good health for our people, our patients, our communities and our world." Above all, the organization commits to doing the right thing.^[9] This mission underscores the organization's dedication to enhancing well-being through compassionate, innovative care tailored to the needs of the Portland metropolitan area and surrounding regions.^[1] The core values of Legacy Health—respect, innovation, service, responsibility, quality, excellence, and leadership—form the foundation of its operations and culture. Respect emphasizes treating all individuals with compassion, affirmation, and inclusion while soliciting feedback to foster open communication. Innovation encourages embracing diverse perspectives and staying ahead of healthcare trends to drive positive change. Service prioritizes patient and family needs, ensuring sensitivity and a focus on well-being.

Additionally, staff engage in global health volunteering to support disaster recovery efforts worldwide, reflecting a broader commitment to international well-being. These efforts contribute to a supportive workplace culture, earning Legacy Health recognition as one of America's Best Large Employers in 2023 and one of America's Best In-State Employers in 2025 by Forbes.^[12]^[9]^[13]^[14]

History

Origins and Early Institutions

Good Samaritan Hospital, one of the earliest predecessors of Legacy Health, was founded in 1875 by the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon under the leadership of Rev. B. Wistar Morris to serve as a general hospital addressing the medical needs of Portland's growing community.^[15]^[16]^[17] The institution opened its doors in October 1875 at the corner of NW 23rd and Marshall streets with 50 beds and a staff of five, providing essential general medical services such as surgical care and treatment for common ailments in the absence of other permanent facilities in the Pacific Northwest.^[18]^[15] Early operations emphasized community aid, including support for low-income patients and responses to local health crises, though patient volume remained modest in the initial years, with only 51 admissions in the first year.^[19] Key early milestones for Good Samaritan included expansions to meet rising demand in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1887, the hospital established the region's first medical school, which laid foundational training programs and later evolved into part of Oregon Health & Science University.^[15] By 1889, it expanded capacity to 75 beds, and further growth came with the addition of the C. H. Lewis wing on the south side of the original building.^[20] In 1890, the Good Samaritan School of Nursing was founded by Emily Loveridge, becoming the first such program in the Northwest and focusing on professional training for nurses to support general medical and community care services.^[21] These developments reflected the hospital's commitment to scaling operations amid Portland's population boom and increasing health needs, including aid during outbreaks like the 1918 influenza pandemic, though specific records of epidemic responses highlight broader charitable efforts rather than specialized isolation units at the time.^[19] Emanuel Hospital, another foundational institution, was established in 1912 by Lutheran congregations in inner-city Portland, led by Rev. Carl Renhard of the First Immanuel Lutheran Church, with a strong emphasis on charitable care for the underserved.^[22]^[23]^[24] It began operations in a converted three-story house, offering general medical services, spiritual support, and free or low-cost treatment to align with Lutheran principles of ministering to both physical and spiritual welfare, particularly in a diverse urban area with limited access to healthcare.^[25]^[22] The hospital's school of nursing also opened that year, training staff to deliver community-oriented care focused on epidemics and routine needs, such as during early 20th-century public health challenges.^[26] Among other early entities was Physicians & Surgeons Hospital, founded around 1900 by Dr. Robert C. Coffey as a private clinic and surgical facility in Portland, initially specializing in advanced procedures like early X-ray use under his direction.^[27] It operated as a physician-owned institution providing general medical and surgical services before transitioning to nonprofit status following Coffey's death in the 1930s, when a group of 15 doctors acquired it to continue community-focused operations.^[28] In 1971, Physicians & Surgeons Hospital and Emanuel Hospital formed a joint venture as Metropolitan Hospitals, Inc., to build what became Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center in 1973, enhancing capabilities in charitable care and general services without altering their pre-merger historical roots. These predecessor organizations culminated in the 1989 formation of Legacy Health through the merger of Good Samaritan and Emanuel systems.^[29]

Formation and Key Mergers

Legacy Health System was formed in 1989 through the merger of the Portland-based HealthLink network—which encompassed Emanuel Hospital, Holladay Park Medical Center, Meridian Park Hospital, and Mount Hood Medical Center—and Good Samaritan Hospital and Medical Center.^[30] This consolidation created a unified nonprofit health system with five hospitals, over 1,500 licensed beds, and approximately 7,200 employees, operating under combined assets of about $400 million.^[30] The merger also incorporated supporting services such as the Visiting Nurse Association and Managed HealthCare Northwest to enhance regional care delivery.^[30] The strategic objectives of the 1989 merger centered on achieving cost efficiencies through shared administrative and operational resources, expanding access to healthcare across the Portland metropolitan area, and promoting coordinated care among facilities to better serve diverse communities.^[30] By integrating these institutions, Legacy Health System aimed to streamline services like payroll and management—previously totaling $179 million annually across the merging entities—while maintaining a focus on nonprofit principles rooted in the founding missions of its hospitals, such as Good Samaritan established in 1875.^[30] These efforts positioned the system as a major provider in Oregon, emphasizing preventive and comprehensive care over fragmented operations. In 2010, the organization rebranded from Legacy Health System to Legacy Health to better reflect its evolution into a broader integrated care network beyond traditional hospital services.^[31] This change supported ongoing consolidation goals by highlighting the system's unified approach to population health management and accountable care across its facilities.^[31]

Recent Developments and Challenges

In 2012, Legacy Health opened the new Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, a nine-story facility consolidating pediatric services in a family-centered environment to enhance care for young patients in the Portland area.^[1] The $115 million project, completed in December 2011 and officially opening in February 2012, marked a significant expansion of specialized pediatric capabilities within the system.^[32] By 2016, Legacy Health expanded its footprint through the affiliation with Silverton Health, acquiring and rebranding Silverton Hospital as Legacy Silverton Medical Center, the seventh hospital in its network and the only one in Marion County.^[33] The transaction, finalized on June 1, 2016, included a $57.6 million investment commitment for equipment upgrades and facility improvements to bolster rural access to acute care.^[34] In 2017, Legacy Health, in collaboration with Oregon Health & Science University and Providence, opened the Unity Center for Behavioral Health adjacent to Legacy Emanuel, establishing Oregon's first dedicated psychiatric emergency facility.^[35] The center, which began accepting patients on January 31, 2017, provides 24/7 crisis care for adults and adolescents, addressing a critical gap in mental health services with inpatient and outpatient capabilities.^[36] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Legacy Health faced intense capacity pressures, implementing crisis standards of care for adult ICUs and pediatric units in late 2022 due to surging hospitalizations that strained resources and bed availability.^[37] To mitigate these challenges, the system introduced a mobile ICU unit equipped for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to support critically ill patients during surges.^[38] Workforce strains were evident, with heightened burnout among staff prompting a $2 million grant in 2022 to fund wellness programs aimed at supporting mental health and resilience for healthcare workers.^[39] In July 2023, amid escalating financial difficulties, Legacy Health sold select assets of its outreach laboratory business to Labcorp, including facilities and equipment, with approximately 700 employees transitioning to the buyer without layoffs.^[40] The deal, finalized in November 2023, also established a long-term agreement for Labcorp to manage inpatient hospital laboratories, generating proceeds to stabilize operations and invest in core patient care.^[41] This move was part of broader recovery efforts following the end of federal COVID-19 funding in 2022, which had previously offset operating losses.^[42] That same year, Legacy Health explored a potential integration with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), announcing plans in August 2023 for OHSU to acquire the system in a transaction valued at billions, aimed at enhancing regional care coordination.^[43] However, on May 5, 2025, the organizations mutually terminated the agreement, citing an evolving operating environment and a strategic decision to pursue independent paths better suited to community needs, amid regulatory scrutiny and integration complexities.^[44] Post-pandemic financial challenges persisted into 2025, with Legacy Health reporting operating income of $16.5 million in fiscal year 2024 (ended March 31, 2024), reflecting gradual operational improvements amid rising labor and supply costs, stagnant reimbursements, and regulatory pressures.^[45] In response to ongoing strains, the system implemented cost-cutting measures, including the closure of several outpatient clinics and urgent care sites announced in October 2025, which took effect on November 15, 2025, affecting all Washington clinics and select Portland-area locations to ensure long-term sustainability without compromising essential care. Additionally, in 2025, labor tensions escalated with strike authorizations by advanced practice providers in October and nurses at Legacy Mount Hood Medical Center in August, amid contract negotiations over pay and working conditions.^[46]^[47]^[48] Despite these strains, Legacy achieved a narrow profit in early 2025.^[49]

Research and Education

Legacy Research Institute

The Legacy Research Institute (LRI), the research arm of Legacy Health, was established in 1997 as a dedicated facility to advance biomedical research and translational medicine.^[1] Located primarily on the Holladay Park campus at 1225 N.E. 2nd Avenue in northeast Portland, Oregon, the institute spans approximately 67,000 square feet and integrates with Legacy Health's clinical infrastructure to facilitate direct application of discoveries to patient care.^[73] Earlier research efforts, such as the R.S. Dow Neurobiology Laboratories founded in 1979 on the Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center campus, laid foundational work in neuroscience that evolved into LRI's broader mission.^[74] LRI's research priorities encompass neuroscience, cancer, eye health, cardiology, and population health, emphasizing preclinical, clinical, and epidemiological studies to address prevalent diseases. In neuroscience, the institute investigates mechanisms of disorders like epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, and addiction through molecular, genetic, and behavioral approaches.^[74] Cancer research focuses on biospecimen analysis via the Legacy Tumor Bank, which stores human tissue samples from patients to support studies on tumor characteristics, treatment responses, and potential cures.^[75] Eye health efforts, under the Discoveries in Sight laboratories established in 1997, target glaucoma and other blinding conditions through basic ocular research, clinical trials, and technology development.^[76] Cardiology-related work occurs within clinical trials and biomechanics studies aimed at injury prevention and surgical advances, while population health initiatives, led by scientists like Megan Cahn, PhD, examine health disparities and their impacts on diverse communities.^[77]^[78] Key facilities include the state-of-the-art laboratories at Holladay Park, which support interdisciplinary work, and specialized sites like the R.S. Dow Neurobiology Laboratories at Good Samaritan for brain research and Discoveries in Sight for vision studies.^[74]^[76] LRI collaborates closely with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), particularly through the OHSU Knight-Legacy Cancer Collaborative, which expands access to trials and shared expertise in oncology and other areas.^[79] Notable achievements include contributing to innovations such as advanced imaging techniques for glaucoma diagnosis and therapies.^[76] The institute has produced influential publications, including foundational texts on neurobiology, and supports translational research by linking lab findings directly to Legacy Health's clinical practices.^[74] Recent outputs include quarterly publications as of early 2025.^[80] Funding for LRI derives from National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants, such as those from NINDS, NIMH, and NIDA; private foundations like the Glaucoma Research Foundation and Epilepsy Foundation; and internal support from Legacy Health Foundations for pilot projects.^[74]^[76] This financial structure enables comprehensive clinical trial management and biospecimen resources, ensuring research translates into improved diagnostics, treatments, and preventive strategies within Legacy Health's patient-centered model.^[73]

Training and Professional Development

Legacy Health maintains strong affiliations with academic institutions, notably Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), to support residency and fellowship training programs. These partnerships enable medical students and residents from OHSU to rotate through Legacy facilities, such as Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel for pediatric care experiences.^[81]^[82] The organization sponsors accredited residency programs primarily in internal medicine, with 18 positions annually at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center and 12 at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center, emphasizing comprehensive clinical training in community settings.^[83]^[84] Additionally, Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center hosts a podiatric medicine and surgery residency, providing hands-on experience in foot and ankle procedures. While Legacy does not sponsor independent residencies in surgery, pediatrics, or family medicine, its hospitals serve as key rotation sites for external programs, including OHSU's emergency medicine residency at Emanuel.^[85] Fellowships are offered in specialties such as bariatric surgery and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, further enhancing advanced training opportunities.^[86] In nursing and allied health, Legacy provides structured residency programs, including a year-long RN Residency to support new graduates in transitioning to professional practice. The Carl Peterson Clinical Education Center facilitates simulation-based training, in-services, and skills workshops for nursing and interdisciplinary staff, alongside offerings for continuing education credits through the Continuing Medical Education program. These initiatives support over 100 employed residents and fellows, plus more than 1,500 visiting trainees annually, including medical students and rotating professionals.^[87]^[88]^[89]^[90] Legacy Health demonstrates a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in its educational programs by offering medical student scholarships targeted at individuals underrepresented in medicine, as part of broader efforts to foster inclusive training environments. Employee resource groups and DEI-focused resources further integrate these principles into professional development for residents and staff.^[91]^[92]

Executive Leadership

Legacy Health's executive leadership team is responsible for guiding the organization's strategic direction, operational efficiency, financial stability, and clinical excellence across its network of hospitals and clinics in Oregon and Washington.^[93] As of September 2025, the team reports directly to the President and CEO, with key C-suite roles overseeing areas such as medical affairs, operations, finance, and strategy, under the broader oversight of the board of directors.^[94] George Brown, MD, serves as President and Chief Executive Officer, a role he has held since July 2024 following his rehiring after a previous tenure from 2008 to 2018. Brown, a former U.S. Army officer with a distinguished military career including service during the fall of the Berlin Wall, brings extensive healthcare leadership experience; prior to his first stint at Legacy, he was Chief Operating Officer at MultiCare Health System in Tacoma, Washington.^[95] In his current position, he leads strategic planning, innovation initiatives, and system-wide responses to financial and operational challenges, following the termination of proposed merger talks with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in May 2025.^[96] In September 2025, Legacy launched a national search for his successor, with Brown committed to remaining in the role until a transition is complete.^[97] Melinda Muller, MD, is the Chief Medical Officer, focusing on clinical quality, patient safety, and physician engagement across Legacy's facilities.^[94] A board-certified internist with expertise in preventive care, HIV/AIDS management, and women's health, Muller graduated from Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine in 1996 and completed her residency in internal medicine at Legacy Health/Emanuel Medical Center from 1996 to 2000.^[98] She has served in various clinical and administrative roles at Legacy for over two decades, including as Associate Chief Medical Officer, emphasizing her deep institutional knowledge in advancing equitable care delivery.^[99] Jonathan Avery serves as Chief Operating Officer, managing day-to-day operations, facility administration, and integration of services to ensure efficient patient care.^[94] With nearly three decades of tenure at Legacy since joining in 1996, Avery holds a Master's degree in Health Services Administration from the University of Michigan and has progressed through roles such as Vice President of Legacy Medical Group, President of Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center, and Chief Administrative Officer at Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center.^[100] His leadership has been instrumental in operational recoveries and quality improvements, including five-star ratings for hospitals under his oversight.^[50] Other key executives include Carolyn Coggins as interim Chief Financial Officer, handling financial oversight and budgeting amid recent fiscal pressures; Anita Iyenger as interim Chief Information Officer and Chief Strategy Officer, driving digital transformation and long-term planning; and supporting roles like Chief Legal Officer Craig Armstrong, JD, and Chief Nurse and Philanthropy Officer Kecia Kelly, DNP, who contribute to compliance, workforce development, and community-focused initiatives.^[94] These appointments reflect Legacy's emphasis on experienced internal leaders to navigate post-2023 financial recovery and innovation priorities.^[101]

Board of Directors and Governance

Legacy Health is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors consisting of up to 18 voting members, drawn from healthcare providers, hospital administrators, business and civic leaders, and representatives from Lutheran and Episcopal church communities to ensure broad community representation.^[93]^[102] This structure emphasizes specialized expertise while prioritizing directors who reflect the diverse populations served by the organization.^[102] The Board holds primary responsibility for setting strategic direction, approving financial plans and budgets, ensuring regulatory compliance, and selecting the chief executive officer.^[102] To fulfill these functions, it delegates specific oversight to standing committees, including the Finance Committee for budgetary and investment matters, the Audit & Compliance Committee for risk management and ethical standards, the Governance Committee for board effectiveness and education, the Compensation Committee for executive remuneration, the Medical Quality & Credentialing Committee for clinical standards, and the Strategic Collaborations Committee for partnership evaluations.^[102] Diversity and inclusion form core governance goals, with the Board aiming to incorporate underrepresented voices through community representation and expertise in equity-focused areas.^[102] Current demographics align with these objectives by balancing professional sectors while advancing health equity priorities.^[93] Notable policies include stringent conflict of interest guidelines, requiring full disclosure and approval by disinterested directors for any related transactions to maintain integrity, alongside mandatory annual audits and reporting to uphold transparency and accountability.^[102]

Community Engagement

Philanthropy and Partnerships

The Legacy Health Foundation plays a central role in coordinating fundraising efforts to support the health system's mission, including provisions for uncompensated care, medical equipment, and specialized programs across its hospitals and clinics.^[103] The foundation manages annual campaigns and donor programs that channel resources toward essential needs, such as patient assistance and operational enhancements, with recent initiatives raising approximately $7 million for patient care areas including cancer treatment and pediatric support.^[104] These efforts are governed by a board of trustees and emphasize sustainable funding through endowed gifts and planned giving, ensuring long-term impact on healthcare accessibility.^[103] Legacy Health has forged key partnerships to expand service delivery and operational efficiency. In 2015, it acquired a 50% stake in PacificSource Health Plans, forming a collaborative model that integrates payer and provider functions to improve insurance coverage and care coordination, including the addition of OHSU Health to the Navigator network in 2021.^[105]^[106] Additionally, an integrated partnership with GoHealth Urgent Care, launched in Oregon and Washington, provides priority referrals to Legacy specialists and enhances access to immediate care services.^[71] For telehealth, Legacy maintains in-house capabilities offering virtual consultations for specialties like stroke and neonatal care, though specific technology vendor partnerships remain internal to its clinically integrated network.^[107] Philanthropic contributions have directly funded advancements in cancer research through the Legacy Cancer Research Fund, supporting innovative treatments and clinical trials at facilities like the Knight Cancer Institute collaborators.^[108] Funds have also bolstered pediatric services, including rehabilitation and intervention programs at sites such as Randall Children's Hospital, and sustained community clinics like the Emanuel Charity Care Clinic, which addresses uncompensated care for underserved patients.^[103]^[109] Internal initiatives like the Employee Giving Campaign encourage staff participation, directing donations toward critical areas such as cancer care, heart services, and emergency employee needs, with recent drives supporting $0.9 million in education and training programs.^[110]^[104] Corporate sponsorships, in turn, involve Legacy providing grants and support to external organizations focused on community health improvement, fostering alliances that align with broader wellness goals.^[111] In the post-2023 period, amid financial challenges from rising costs and operational strains, Legacy pursued strategic partnerships for recovery and stability, including a 2023 nonbinding letter of intent to combine with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), which was terminated in May 2025, aimed at enhancing scale and resource sharing.^[112]^[113] Efforts toward financial stability, alongside ongoing PacificSource collaboration, contributed to affirmed investment-grade ratings by S&P Global in April 2025, signaling improved financial outlook at that time.^[114] Following the termination, Legacy Health reported a narrow profit in fiscal year 2025, indicating recovery from earlier financial challenges.^[49]

Health Equity and Community Programs

Legacy Health addresses social determinants of health through targeted programs that support underserved populations in Portland's diverse neighborhoods and the mid-Willamette Valley, including initiatives for free clinics, transportation aid, and food insecurity relief. The Project Access NOW program connects low-income and uninsured individuals to essential health services, serving 8,214 people from FY21 to FY23 by linking them with community providers for primary and specialty care.^[115] For food insecurity, Legacy's Food Support Program screens patients—reaching 82,092 in FY23, or 58% of all patients—and provides groceries to those in need, such as 4,210 low-income individuals that year, while connecting them to local resources like SNAP and community pantries.^[115]^[116] Transportation barriers are tackled as a priority in community health plans, with 25% of the region requiring non-emergency medical transport support, particularly in Multnomah County where the need reaches 45%, through partnerships that facilitate access to appointments.^[115] Efforts to reduce health disparities are guided by community needs assessments, which show improved access for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and low-income groups via metrics like the Disparity Index, measuring gaps in care by race, ethnicity, gender, and language.^[115] Uninsured rates in the quad-county region dropped from 13.1% (2010-2014) to 6.0% (2015-2019), reflecting broader access gains, while preventive exam rates for Oregon Health Plan members rose 24% from 5.4% in FY21 to 6.7% in FY23.^[115] Specific outreach includes behavioral health programs partnering with nonprofits like the Oregon Health Equity Alliance for culturally responsive mental health and substance use support, targeting priority populations through 37 community engagement sessions with 311 participants, 25% of whom were Hispanic/Latino/a/x and 16% Black/African American.^[115] Vaccination drives emphasize equitable immunization access, with Legacy offering flu shots and other vaccines aligned with CDC schedules to vulnerable groups in Portland and Marion County.^[117] In the mid-Willamette Valley, grants fund nonprofit collaborations for economic stability and mental health services, such as peer support and resource coordination.^[118] Annual community benefit reports highlight substantial investments in charity care and education, totaling $662 million in FY24, with $418.4 million annually dedicated to unreimbursed care for low-income, uninsured, Medicare, and Medicaid patients.^[45]^[119] These funds support education initiatives like the HOPE Program, providing scholarships and employment to 5 scholars yearly, and grants aiding 822 youth in health education and 1,003 high school students in workforce development from FY21 to FY23.^[115] For homelessness, Legacy funded 95 units of supportive housing for chronically homeless individuals with complex health needs, addressing housing instability as a key equity barrier.^[115] Legacy Health has received recognition for its equity work, including leader designations for all eight hospitals on the 2022 Healthcare Equality Index by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, honoring inclusive care practices for LGBTQ+ patients.^[120] This accolade underscores responses to social issues like homelessness through community-led initiatives promoting housing stability and trauma-informed care.^[11]
