Virginia Mason Medical Center (Seattle).
Virginia Mason provides comprehensive orthopedic care, specializing in bone tumors, limb reconstruction, hand surgery, sports medicine and joint replacement, to name a few programs. More than 90 percent of Virginia Mason's orthopedic surgeons have completed advanced training in clinical fellowships. Further, for more than 25 years, the hospital's surgeons have maintained an implant registry that lets them monitor the implants patients receive for research purposes. This fall, Virginia Mason was one of the first hospitals in the country to introduce surgical warranties for its hip and knee replacements, which cover avoidable, surgery-related complications and spares patients, employers and payers from those expenses. U.S. News & World Report ranked Virginia Mason as one of the top five hospitals in the country for 2014-15.
