History
A non-profit group was created in 1950 by civic leaders in the Stayton area with the goal of creating a hospital to serve the community. Funds to build the hospital were raised by subscription. In March 1953, Santiam Memorial Hospital opened. The hospital looked to expand by adding six beds in 1961 at a cost of about $90,000, but the lack of a sewer system in the city hampered the project. In 1968, the facility began working to build a helipad. On March 11, 1983, a nursing station at the hospital was robbed at gunpoint by a man seeking drugs. It was one of five hospitals in Oregon as of 2007 that did not participate in reporting errors to the Oregon Patient Safety Commission. An expansion that doubled the size of the facility ended in 2012, and the next year the name was shortened to Santiam Hospital.

Santiam has 40 licensed beds, and staffs all 40 of the beds. The hospital serves the eastern portions of Marion County in the Salem area.
