Why Tigard & Portland?
Located just outside Portland , Tigard offers a great balance for someone who wants access to a major city without necessarily living right in the middle of downtown.
The area has an incredible food and coffee scene, local breweries, shopping, restaurants, and beautiful communities — but the outdoor access is what really makes this location stand out!
You can spend your weekends exploring the Oregon Coast, Mt. Hood, Oregon wine country, or the Columbia River Gorge . Hiking, biking, skiing, wineries, beaches, and countless outdoor activities are all within reach. Thrive describes the hospital as approximately two hours from both the beach and Mt. Hood, with Portland nearby.
For someone considering relocating to the Pacific Northwest, this is a great opportunity to experience everything the Portland area has to offer while joining an established community hospital.
