Columbia Memorial Hospital announces planned expansion
Columbia Memorial Hospital just announced plans for a major expansion and renovation! ZGF Architects leads the project team, with Skanska USA as general contractor. Winterbrook Planning will be working with the City of Astoria to create a planning solution that benefits all stakeholders:
“Astoria has contracted [Winterbrook Planning] to focus on the expansion. Winterbrook Planning … will help with land use planning issues and requirements for the project.
The firm will report to the city and represent the city’s interests, according to an agreement approved by the City Council in September. The hospital will reimburse the city for all costs.

The new facility will be earthquake and tsunami resilient, and have increased capacity and breadth of services.
“Our current facility is over 45 years old and has served us well,” says Erik Thorsen, CEO “However, in the last decade, CMH and OHSU have launched many new service lines, and we have simply run out of space to grow. This expansion of the CMH campus will allow us to broaden the scope of our services and ensure state-of-the-art care throughout the organization. The new facility will be designed in a manner consistent with our Planetree philosophy of person-centered care and will include new equipment, diagnostic services and specialties often found only in larger institutions.”
