Integris Health Baptist Medical Center - North Portland (formerly Deaconess Hospital) is a hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
History
The hospital was originally founded in 1931 by the Free Methodist Church. Anna Luella Witteman, a civic leader and superintendent of a Free Methodist mission home for girls, led the expansion of a medical building. [2] Witteman, and other women involved with the Free Methodist Church as deaconesses staffed the medical building, leading to the original name of the hospital (Deaconess Hospital). [2] [3]
Triad Health Systems bought the hospital in 2005, after which it was sold to Tennessee based Community Health Systems in 2007. [4] After the purchase by Community Health Systems, the hospital was known as AllianceHealth Deaconess from 2007-2018. [5] [6]
