Swedish Medical Center – First Hill Campus

Swedish Medical Center’s First Hill Campus represents the flagship location of the largest non-profit healthcare provider in the Greater Seattle area. Founded in 1910 by Dr. Nils Johanson, a Swedish immigrant surgeon, the institution has grown from a 24-bed facility into a comprehensive medical center with over 700 beds, serving as a cornerstone of healthcare excellence in the Pacific Northwest.

The First Hill campus houses several centers of excellence, including the Swedish Cancer Institute, Swedish Heart & Vascular Institute, and Swedish Neuroscience Institute. These specialized divisions offer integrated care models that combine advanced diagnostics, innovative treatments, and supportive services. The cancer program particularly stands out with its pioneering work in precision oncology, providing personalized treatment plans based on genetic profiles of tumors.

Swedish First Hill maintains one of the region’s busiest obstetrics programs, delivering over 9,000 babies annually. Its Maternal & Fetal Specialty Center provides comprehensive care for high-risk pregnancies, while the Level III neonatal intensive care unit ensures specialized treatment for premature and critically ill newborns. The hospital’s pediatric services extend beyond neonatal care to include specialized surgical and medical interventions for children of all ages.

The facility has undergone significant expansion and modernization in recent years, including the addition of the Orthopedic Institute and enhancements to cardiovascular services. The implementation of an integrated electronic health record system has improved coordination across Swedish’s five hospital campuses and numerous outpatient facilities throughout the Greater Seattle area.

Swedish’s commitment to community health extends beyond traditional medical services through extensive outreach programs, including free health screenings, education initiatives, and subsidized care for underserved populations. These efforts reflect the organization’s ongoing dedication to its founding mission of improving the health and wellbeing of each person served.
