This hospital doesn't seem to be notable. I can't find anything in a search for it except for trivial coverage and passing mentions in travel guides. There's nothing that passes general notability or
NCORP though.

Keep per
WP:NPOSSIBLE: Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. The affiliation with
Adventist Health is relatively recent in the organization's history--after 2012. If you search for its previous name, "Portland Adventist Medical Center", you will find at least a dozen secondary sources, like the ones listed below. BTW, I left out run-of -the-mill death announcements and sensationalized lawsuits. Cheers! —

"Hospital Finances Flashback: A Look Inside Adventist Health, Catholic Health Initiatives, CHE Trinity Health | The Lund Report". www.thelundreport.org. Retrieved 2020-06-04. Portland Adventist Medical Center serves eastern Multnomah County, an area where the low-income population is growing as gentrification elsewhere drives poorer residents of the Portland out of the central city. The 248-bed hospital and its affiliated clinics also provide services in Oregon's Clackamas and Washington counties and in Washington's Clark County. Adventist Medical Center ended its 2012 fiscal year with $193.4 million in net assets, up 3.5 percent.

Keep as per the multiple reliable sources coverage identified above that shows it has independent notability and merits a stand-alone article, imv

One of the references cited above is literally just their contact information and another one is the coordinates of their helicopter landing pad. Seriously, what is "independent reliable sourcing that establishes notability" about either of those?

Keep. If anyone has built a modern 300-bed hospital facility without it being discussed at great length in the local newspaper, then I've never heard of it. The fact that nobody's yet looked in the 1970s archives of The Oregonian to find those sources does not mean that the subject is non-notable.

Comment: I don't have access to the 1970s archives of The Oregonian, but I did search its website OregonLive and found 7 more solid resources in about 15 minutes. I'm confident
WhatamIdoing is correct that there are probably many more in the archives. —

Cool, more trivial sources like the ones you posted above containing nothing but contact details. You should really familiarize yourself with what is considered trivial coverage. Instead of ref bombing a bunch of links to things that don't work for notability. Everything you linked to is extremely
MILL. --

The first one in this list is 200 words on the construction of a new building. The last is 500 words on a US$94 million building expansion. (I haven't looked at the ones in between.) If you are seeing "nothing but contact details" at those links, then you might check your browser settings and ad blocker.

Where did I say every link had nothing but contact details? The fact that only a few of them do is irrelevant. None of them should. Building expansions are just as trivial anyway.
CORP specifically calls that kind of out as not notable. "of the expansions, acquisitions, mergers, sale, or closure of the business." Same goes for the subjects of every other link. I don't feel the need to waste my time on an in-depth analysis of them here though just because you and the other users aren't willing to put the proper research into your votes. --

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Closed as keep but was asked to relist as quality of sources challenged. Extra eyes always useful.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

Keep. Plenty of independent reliable sources. --
