Bess Kaiser Hospital was a hospital in Portland, Oregon, United States, which closed in 1998.[1]

The hospital opened in 1959 and was the first postwar Portland-area hospital in Henry J. Kaiser's Permanente Foundation health care network.[2][circular reference][3] It was named after Henry J. Kaiser's wife Bess.[4] The former location is now occupied by adidas America Headquarters.
