Snoqualmie Valley Hospital has been delivering quality health care to Valley residents for more than 30 years. The hospital and clinics serve nearly 20,000 people. Since the new hospital opened in May 2015, community use has increased significantly.

“The new facility was designed with our patients’ needs and comfort in mind to enhance the level of care we already provide,” said Rodger McCollum, CEO for the hospital district. “We can better serve the needs of our communities in a location that is easily accessible and offers advanced technology in a modern, streamlined building.”

The nearly 70,000 square-foot structure provides ample space and efficiencies for an improved patient experience.

The 24-hour emergency department has five rooms plus a decontamination/overflow room. Two rooms are larger and can accommodate extra staff members and equipment, to effectively treat patients who have suffered such severe injuries as a heart attack, skiing injury or car accident.

Medical imaging services include MRI, CT scans, bone density scans, EKG, X-Ray and ultrasound and serve both emergency room (ER) patients and the general public. Other expanded outpatient services include 24-hour lab and anti-coagulation clinic, infusion and wound care, endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures.

The Snoqualmie Valley Hospital Clinic, located on the first floor, includes primary care, cardiology, mental health and sports medicine.

Dr. David Kim is a rehabilitation and physical and sports medicine specialist at the clinic. He works to reduce patient pain and restore function without surgery.

“By providing proper diagnostic tests, I develop a treatment plan with the patient to help them return to the activities they previously enjoyed,” he said.

Single-occupancy patient rooms are on the second floor and were designed for privacy, comfort and healing.

Inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services provide a range of therapies such as physical, occupational, recreational and speech therapies, modified barium swallow studies, home-safety evaluations, animal assisted therapy, horticulture therapy and community reintegration.

Other outpatient therapies include hand, lymphedema, vestibular and myofascial release.

The 24-hour pharmacy is also on the second floor and serves inpatients and ER patients.

The soothing colors, local artwork and state-of-the-art equipment in the modern facility combine to provide a comforting, healing environment.

Snoqualmie Valley Hospital is located at 9801 Frontier Ave. S.E., off I-90 and Highway 18, west of Snoqualmie Parkway.
