Welcome to a land of snow-capped mountains and towering Douglas firs, of mild winters and warm summers. Located on the southern tip of Puget Sound, just 60 miles south of Seattle, Olympia is the capital of the state of Washington and a city of astounding natural beauty.
The Hospital
Capital Medical Center is a 110-bed full-service hospital, with two general family practice clinics and one specialty clinic. Licensed by the State of Washington and fully accredited by the Joint Commission, the hospital provides 24-hour emergency care in a Level IV Trauma Designated Facility.
The hospital features a Level I Newborn Nursery and Birthing Suites specially designed for Labor, Delivery, Recovery and Postpartum (LDRP). There’s an Outpatient Pre Surgery Clinic, six Surgical Suites, an Ambulatory Center (same-day surgery) with 20 private rooms, a Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab Program and an Intensive Care and Critical Care unit with advanced monitoring and equipment. The 24-hour full-service Laboratory is accredited by the College of American Pathologists. The Mammography program is accredited by the American College of Radiology. A full-service Radiology Department features MRI, Spiral CT Scanner with 3D capability, Diagnostic Ultrasound, Echocardiography and Nuclear Medicine.

The hospital’s Joint and Spine Center is part of a comprehensive Orthopedics program. The Community Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Program includes medical & surgical oncology, chemotherapy and radiation therapy services. A benefit of the hospital’s cancer program is the convenience patients have become accustomed to by receiving care at one centralized location rather than visiting multiple locations for their appointments and cancer treatment.
