'''Morningside Hospital''' is a historical medical institution located in [[Oregon]], United States. It was established in the early 20th century and served as a psychiatric hospital for the Alaskan population.

== History ==

Morningside Hospital was founded in 1904 by Dr. [[Henry Waldo Coe]], a prominent physician and politician in Oregon. The hospital was initially established to provide care for the mentally ill residents of Alaska, as the territory did not have its own mental health facility at the time.

The hospital was originally named ''Sanitarium of Portland'' but was later renamed to ''Morningside Hospital'' in 1911. Over the years, the hospital expanded its services and facilities, becoming a significant institution in the field of [[psychiatry]] and [[mental health]] in the Pacific Northwest.

== Facilities and Services ==

Morningside Hospital was equipped with modern facilities for its time. It had separate wards for male and female patients, a surgical suite, a laboratory, and a pharmacy. The hospital also had recreational facilities such as a library, a gymnasium, and outdoor gardens.

The hospital provided a range of services including psychiatric care, surgical procedures, and pharmaceutical treatments. It also offered occupational therapy and recreational activities as part of its holistic approach to mental health care.

== Closure and Legacy ==

Morningside Hospital closed its doors in 1968, following the passage of the [[Alaska Mental Health Enabling Act]] in 1956, which led to the establishment of mental health facilities in Alaska. The hospital's closure marked the end of an era in the history of mental health care in the Pacific Northwest.

Today, the legacy of Morningside Hospital lives on through the records and memories of those who worked and were treated there. The hospital's history provides valuable insights into the evolution of mental health care in the United States.
