With numerous awards and distinctions, including our recognition as Top Hospital of the Decade by The Leapfrog Group, Virginia Mason has transformed health care through our innovations in patient safety and our ability to provide patients in our community with easier access to our high-quality care. Consisting of a 336-bed hospital in Seattle, WA, and an extensive network of primary and specialty care clinics throughout the Puget Sound region, joining Virginia Mason is an exceptional opportunity to partner with nationally recognized physicians and peers, and an organization recognized as the benchmark for health care.

 

Our registered nurses provide high quality, skilled nursing services to assist patients to achieve optimum health and functional health status following an illness requiring hospitalization. Through collaboration with physicians and other health care professionals, the nurse prepares the patient and family for discharge to home or another setting for continued care. 

 

Our Observation Unit provides an area where patients who have been examined in the Emergency Department can be monitored, go through additional testing and receive ongoing treatment. The goal of the unit is to provide immediate treatment for patients so they can go home to their families faster and begin the process of healing. We treat a very diverse patient population and the unit is a sister unit to the Emergency Department and occasionally care for ED hold patients. Here you will find:
