Diagnostic imaging
Family birth center
Foot care clinic
General surgery
Lab services
Nutrition services
Orthopedic/sports medicine

Awards and recognition
Since 2008, Legacy Silverton has earned recognition each year with the Press Ganey Summit Award,[4][5][6][7] which is given to hospitals ranked in the top 5 percent for clinical performance and patient satisfaction.[8]
Controversies
The hospital reported in January 2015 that ten patients had been burned during surgeries due to unfiltered halogen lights in the operating room.[9]
