Answer 1 :
Which Portland ,there is more than one.?
Answer 2 :
If you mean Portland, ME - the best hospital would at one of the Maine Medical Center branches. They have many: their main campus (Bramhall), Scarborough, Brighton, Spring Harbor, St. Andrew's Healthcare, Western Maine Health, or Miles Health Care. Being one of the largest employers of the state, they have great opportunities available and encourage career advancement for their employees. They also have great benefits (health, dental, vision, life, retirement-403b, and discounts to local businesses). If you want more information check out their website http://www.mmc.org
Answer 3 :
most all the hospitals are good in Portland, OHSU is a good hospital and emanual legacy are good hospitals which are good sam and emanual is in North Portland and then there is Providence which are St Vincents and Providence. The only one I don't think good is tuality hospital. Good luck
Answer 4 :
Probably OHSU, Oregon Health Science Universtiy. It is an extensive system located on the hills in south west Portland.
Answer 5 :
I work at Providence St. Vincent, and would have to say that they are the best to work for, or any of the Providence hospitals here. They have great benefits and retirement plans. Ive always hear patients come through and say that the other hospitals in the area are so impersonal and don't take the time that they could to help them and there glad they found Providence. They have been voted one of the top places to work in Oregon. The pay is exceptional as well.

About hey, I'm considering moving to Portland for work

Hey, I'm considering moving to Portland for work.?
I'm a liberal minded, atheistic red stater trying to escape the crap ball of a state in which I currently live. I interviewed with a company in Portland and will have a job offer soon but I've heard that it is an unfriendly, hostile city. Clearly, I'll be visiting before accepting the offer. Would you say it's a friendly city? Where should I visit when I visit in terms of restaurants, hotels, etc? I love Mexican (Tex-Mex or authentic, don't really care) and pizza. Thanks!

Answer 1 :
If you are talking about Portland OR then i can tell you that it is not hostile at all. Everyone here is very chill, and the best part, like 95% of us are liberal. Move here, it's awesome. Downtown is very awesome, there are a lot of good hotels in the pearl district and then you can go to the waterfront to hang. There are a ton of really good restaurants downtown also, just pick one.
Answer 2 :
Stay away. Portland is poison to all who come here. No work. No night life. Nothing to do that doesnt cost an arm and a leg. The snootiest, most pretentious people outside of Hollywood. The worst gangs outside of compton. Your chances of getting laid are close to zero and your chances of getting shot are about 100% Evil cops, crooked judges and unions that run everything. And the rest of oregon is just one big forest fire waiting to happen. Eugene corvallis area is full of twits and strights dont have a chance. You are much better off just staying where you are. You'll have a better, more profitable and more fulfilling life. Dont come to Portland. Or Oregon. Stay home. Unless you are a rich tourist with tons of money and a return ticket.
Answer 3 :
for mexican food for sure juan colorado its a chain of restaurants all over portland. As for your hostil city thing well, iv been living here for about 10 year and there is alot to do here and no poeple problems yet.
Answer 4 :
95% of the people on Portland YA are teens from middle class and upper class homes. Their view of Portland is limited to their neighborhood and school. Portland has a population of 672,000 people, but it is contigious with several other cities, and all cities combined have a population of over 1,500,000 people. Over 1/3 of Oregon's population (3,600,000) lives in the Greater Portland Area. Oregon has the second highest unemployment rate in the U.S. If you find a job, hang on to it, you won't find another. Oregon also proudly lays claim to the title of having the most homeless people in the U.S. Portland has two classes of people, the upper elite who call themselves liberal, but demonstrate conservative values by ignoring the homeless and poor. Most of the upper class won't even admit the homeless and poor exist in Portland, so nothing is ever done about the problem. The upper class elites also beieve they are the only people qualified to know what is best for the rest of the country, and socially stick together, ignoring the poor and have nots. Portland has a large number of have nots, who sleep on the side walks, in make shift tents and camps under the bridges and in clumps of trees and vegetation around the outskirts of town. Current estimates by social service agencies reveal 18% of Portlands population is underfed. Portland had a serious gang problem in the North East area, but it has died down now that most gang bangers have grown up and have families to support. Some of the upper elite have torn down the affordable housing neighborhoods in the N.E. and built nice new homes there, so the N.E. is a mix of older affordable homes and newer upper class homes which also reduces the gang activity. Mixed with the upper elite and the have nots, is the nut cases that stand in the middle of the street and yell obscenities at people driving by for "using all the gas in the world" or some other nut case cause.
Answer 5 :
Portland is one of the most ambitious culinary cities in the nation, due to the inexpensive cost of opening restaurants here, according to the NY Times. So finding tex mex or authentic mexican shouldn't be too hard. As for the people being hostile? Occasionally I get the rude driver on the highway, but for the most part people do the "courtesy wave" when you let them cut in. People are nice. Most of us aren't from Portland, but transplants. It's liberal here, but only in Portland proper. The outlying areas tend to be more conservative. Yes we have a high homeless population. But everyone I know, including myself, has given money to the guy on the street at one time or other. The unemployment right now is high, so definitely if you move here, plan on staying in your job. Real estate right now is very affordable, like every where else, so you would get a good deal on a house or condo. I've walked a mile from the bus stop home at 11 at night, and never once felt like I wasn't safe. There is a night life here, but not very big. Most people are into their coffee, so the day life is more active. Powell's bookstore down town. You have to see that when you get here, the place is HUGE!
Answer 6 :
Oregon has the second highest unemployment rate in the U.S.Oregon also proudly lays claim to the title of having the most homeless people in the U.S. Tons of "Choose to be homeless" do to drug habbit and gutter punks all over the street. It is not that they are homeless they don't want to spend any money but on H Drug. It the sq is portand's living room than all the fountains must be Portland's bathtub for the TONS of people living on the street. I thought that the joblessness thing was a bunch of hog wash... boy was I wrong and I work in healthcare! No jobs here.

I live in Austin Texas now, which is a place many people even wish to move to...however, as a native Texan, baby boomer, single, wanting to live somewhere else that is nice, I have been thinking maybe Portland. I wish for a place that is very liberal, diverse cultures, but with opportunity for stable employment as an electrical engineer in the architectural design industry.

Answer 1 :
Portland is a wonderful place to live. The city is liberal-minded, very open and hospitable. It is safe, and famous for microbrews. The rain is a bit of a myth. While their are plenty of rainy days, especially fall-spring, it is mostly a high overcast with very little actual rain. People here are getting excited about Greg Oden coming to play for the Trail Blazers and the city is very active during the summertime. The Rose Festival includes an airshow, a race, a parade, festival on the waterfront. Live concerts are held on the waterfront all summer long, including the Blues Festival. Their are wonderful hang out spots within the city, mostly centering around the microbrews. McMenamin's, McMenamin's, McMenamin's. They have it figured out. They own numerous pubs across the area including the Kennedy School, Mission Theater, the Edgefield. The Edgefield which is in Tualitin is a nine hole par 3 golf course, with a 19th century hotel renovated into an Irish style pub, a movie theater for a couple of bucks you can see some classics while you have a beer. Their is a great singles scene in the city as well. Portland is a very active city. Hiking is popular with the convenience of the Columbia River Gorge thirty minutes away, and skiing on Mt. Hood during the winter is among the best in the country. Portland also has a lot of softball leagues as well as soccer and some world class golf courses. Culturally, Portland is liberal, open-minded, and a very friendly environment. People here still say hello, hold doors, give directions and are generally pleasant. The city is very low on crime, which is remarkable considering how many different neighborhoods their are and the diverse group of people. The outdoorsman, the hippy, the athlete, the metrosexual, the cowboy, the professional all are at home in Portland. Within the city their is a large Asian community, as well as hispanic community that is growing all the time. In the end Portland is a lot more class oriented than race oriented. Portland is one of the best places to live in the country!
Answer 2 :
I'm a native Texan and have lived in Portland for the past ~3 years. I lived ~5 years in Austin as well. From a culture standpoint, I think the cities are very similar. They are both liberal, although Portland is bit more extreme than Austin. You'll see 'Keep Portland Weird' bumper stickers just like the 'Keep Austin Weird' ones (I'm not sure who ripped off who). They both have a lot of outdoor activities. It does rain a lot here, but it's not the downpours you see in Austin, it's more of a mist/sprinkle. Summers in Portland are unbeatable - perfect weather & not much rain from July - Sept. I also like being able to drive an hour to the beach or an hour to the ski slopes. I do miss the food in TX though. There's some great seafood, Thai, and sushi up here, but I haven't found any
