Welcoming Virginia Masons Newest Medical Center to the Heart of Bellevue

Bellevue, WALocal News

Virginia Mason has officially opened its newest medical center in Wilburton Village, Bellevue, marking a significant enhancement to the healthcare landscape of the region. Spanning 45,000 square feet, this facility is double the size of its predecessor and unifies various medical services, including award-winning primary care and specialized areas like dermatology, pediatrics, and gynecology, under one roof. The development of this center began in 2018 and was shaped by input from community members and healthcare providers, ensuring that it meets local needs. Dr. Gary Kaplan, Chairman and CEO of Virginia Mason, highlighted the organization's ongoing commitment to providing exceptional patient experiences.

Originally, a grand opening celebration was planned, but these plans were curtailed due to COVID-19, leading to the creation of a virtual tour to familiarize the community with the new facility. This expansion reinforces Virginia Mason's dedication to community health, a mission they have upheld for over a century. The new center not only offers cutting-edge medical services but also enhances patient accessibility with ample parking and a convenient urban location. With this addition, Virginia Mason continues to solidify its role as a cornerstone of healthcare in Bellevue's downtown area.
