Since its inception in 1910 as a 24-bed hospital, Swedish Medical Center has grown into a 1,245-bed medical center comprised of three hospital campuses in Seattle — First Hill, Cherry Hill and Ballard — a hospital in Edmonds, three freestanding emergency room and specialty centers in Issaquah, Mill Creek and Redmond.
In addition to providing general medical and surgical care, Swedish is a regional referral center for treatment in the areas of oncology, cardiac care, high-risk obstetrics, neurosciences, orthopedic surgery and organ transplant. Swedish also has an impressive array of specialty programs that includes sleep medicine, addiction recovery, pediatric services, pain management and home-care services.
Swedish boasts more than 7,000 employees and a medical staff of more than 2,000 private-practice physicians, representing virtually every medical, surgical and diagnostic specialty and subspecialty.
Founded as a not-for-profit institution, Swedish continually reinvests in facilities and new equipment to provide our patients with the highest quality of care in state-of-the-art facilities.
