University Tuberculosis Hospital was a former sanatorium located on Marquam Hill in Portland, Oregon, United States, established in 1939. The hospital was the third sanatorium to open in the state of Oregon after the state legislature mandated public health care for tuberculosis patients in 1909.[1]
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 the site of the Oregon Health & Science University.[1]
