Company History
Salem and Salem Health grew up together. And we're still growing!
125 years of care: History at a glance
We started by scraping together $752
Salem Health’s journey began in 1896 with about $752 to turn the former Oregon School for the Blind into a five-bed hospital. It was on 12th Street near the current Willamette Heritage Center.
Our first patient was Fred Demeter, 65-year-old sewing machine salesman. He paid $5 for hip surgery and $1 a day to recover for 28 days.
The rest is history, with competition, mergers, floods, pandemics, wars, depressions, the creation of private health insurance, Medicare, vaccines, vitamins — and technology. You name it, Salem Health has tackled it and remained focused on its mission — to improve the health and well-being of the people and community we serve.
