Maybe a hospital can't change the future.
But it might change yours.

For nearly 100 years, Swedish has been the place to go when you simply don't want to compromise. Whether you're faced with a serious health problem or the nervous joys of welcoming of a new life into the world, Swedish has long been – and is – the smart choice to make.

The area's most preferred hospital

In survey after survey, when people in King County are asked, “which hospital do you prefer?” Swedish comes in first.* Some of the areas where Swedish comes out on top include:

Focused on patient care

Unlike hospitals that emphasize teaching, the number-one focus at Swedish is patient care. Teaching and research exist here as part of giving you the best care and experience possible.

We care for the whole person

At Swedish, we can literally treat you from head to toe. And, along with offering routine procedures, such as appendectomies or mammograms, Swedish is also extraordinarily well equipped to handle cancer treatment, heart surgery, neurological disorders, and many other kinds of the most complex care.

Higher volumes lead to better outcomes

Many scientific studies have shown that the more procedures a hospital does, the better the outcome for the patient. At Swedish, we perform more general surgeries, conduct more orthopedic procedures, treat more cancer patients and deliver more babies – just to name a few examples – than any other hospital in Western Washington.

The top physicians choose Swedish

What's drawn them here is our long-standing focus on patient care, and our willingness to invest in the nursing teams, support staff, and advanced medical technology that help them help you get better.

Committed to the community

Swedish is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving all the people of this community with the highest quality, patient-focused care.
