Integris Baptist Medical Center Portland Avenue, a 238-bed hospital, temporarily halted most services in April. Only the hospital’s emergency department remained open.
The health system said that it is reopening the Portland Avenue location because its other nearby hospital, the 511-bed Integris Baptist Medical Center, has capacity constraints.
“To continue caring for our patients with non-COVID-19 needs and the growing number of COVID-19 patients, we have decided to open our Portland campus,” Integris said in a July 7 news release.
Integris Baptist Portland will specifically house COVID-19 patients.
