Issaquah’s new medical center starts to take shape
June 29th, 2010 | By: Fred Nystrom
Soggy weather can’t hold it back, construction of Issaquah’s newest medical center is taking shape in the Highlands.
Despite the rainy weather of spring, construction of Swedish’s new medical campus in the Issaquah Highlands continued to move at a fast pace. In July, construction crews will be finishing the foundation walls and beginning the steel work.
By the end of the summer, the new hospital and outpatient center will literally take shape as a good portion of the building’s structure is completed. The roof of the new campus will be in place just in time for winter. At that point, significant interior work will begin.
The medical office building and outpatient services are planned to open in summer 2011. The hospital’s first 80 inpatient beds will open during the first quarter of 2012.
When completed, Swedish/Issaquah will provide a broad range of inpatient and outpatient medical services, including cancer care, cardiac care, OB/GYN and midwifery, pediatrics, primary care, emergency services, surgery, and a host of other services and specialists.
