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.
