For more than 120 years the Oregon State Hospital has been Oregon’s primary mental health facility. In 2003 Governor Kulongoski established a mental health task force to identify problems in Oregon’s mental health system and recommend solutions. That inquiry and those that followed found that many aspects of the current mental health care system in Oregon, especially many buildings on the Oregon State Hospital Salem campus, are badly outdated. The Oregon State Hospital replacement project is an effort to revitalize and modernize Oregon’s total system of mental health care. The project encompasses new, facilities, treatment methods, staff, technology and administrative techniques, all designed to make Oregon’s system among the best in the nation.

This website provides a resource for project documents, frequently asked questions and the latest news. It is part of an attempt to provide total transparency for all of the project’s many stakeholders.

The future homepage for the replacement project is available now:

This site will become the primary source for the most up to date information and features as the project progresses.
