Community Wellness Center
We are excited to share that our Swedish Hospital Community Wellness Center has found a new home in Galter LifeCenter. The Community Wellness Center provides access to high quality, patient centered care to serve our diverse community while identifying and addressing health disparities.
Moving the Community Wellness Center to Swedish Hospital’s campus will further the Community CARE Department’s mission to honor the human dignity of all by building connections that expand the reach and definition of healthcare.
KidCenter
The KidCenter is currently closed and we do not have plans to reopen it at this time.
We are facing many challenges with staffing shortages and need to focus our efforts on keeping other areas of the facility operational. We are hopeful that these issues will resolve over time.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation.
