Northwest Hospital in Seattle became the second campus of University of Washington Medical Center on Jan. 1.
Northwest Hospital affiliated with Seattle-based UW Medicine in 2009, and planning to integrate the hospital with UW Medical Center began in 2017. With the integration complete, Northwest Hospital is now named UW Medical Center – Northwest, and the original campus is named UW Medical Center – Montlake.
"Being the second campus of UW Medical Center will help in the expansion of services on the Northwest campus," Cindy Hecker, executive director of UW Medical Center, said in a news release. "The great care and service that Northwest Hospital has offered the community for nearly 60 years will continue with even greater access to specialty care."
