The hospital was active until 1963, when the number of tuberculosis patients in the state had dwindled, and the Oregon State Tuberculosis Hospital in Salem was able to care for those with the disease.[2][3]
The former hospital is now referred to as the Campus Services Building and is part of the larger campus for Oregon Health & Science University on Marquam Hill.[1]
