Olympia WA Providence St. Peter Hospital ranked #3 in Washington

Good news for residents of Olympia WA – our local Providence St. Peter Hospital was ranked #3 out of all the hospitals in Washington State by US News and World Report.

And they ranked High Performing in eight specialties:

  • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
  • COPD
  • Colon Cancer Surgery
  • Heart Bypass Surgery
  • Heart Failure
  • Hip Replacement
  • Knee Replacement
  • Lung Cancer Surgery

In this evaluation, US News and World Report looked at 4,667 hospitals around the country.  The evaluation was based on four elements:  reputation, patient survival, patient safety and care-related factors such as nurse staffing.

From my own perspective and as a resident of Olympia, this doesn’t surprise me. When my mom needed medical care, I was truly impressed with the quality of health care.  Coming from a larger city, I was a little nervous about a smaller city like Olympia’s healthcare options but I’m so happy to have Providence St. Peter Hospital in my neighborhood!

 

Providence St. Peter Hospital is a 390-bed, not-for-profit regional teaching hospital founded by the Sisters of Providence in 1887.  

Located in Olympia, the hospital offers comprehensive medical, surgical and behavioral health services to residents of Southwest Washington. St. Peter is a regional leader in cardiology, oncology, orthopedics and neurosciences.
