About Multicare Tacoma General Hospital

MultiCare is a not-for-profit health care organization that’s been caring for communities in Washington state since the founding of Tacoma’s first hospital in 1882. With more than 20,000 team members, including employees, providers and volunteers, we’ve grown from a Tacoma-centric, hospital-based organization into the largest, not-for-profit, community-based, locally-owned health system in the state of Washington. Pharmacy is highly respected and is supported by decentralization, prescriptive protocols and advance technology. MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital also supports a physician family practice residency. The hospital is located close to a metropolitan area surrounded by mountains and sea offering a variety of cultural and recreational activities. Our comprehensive system of health serves patients from around the Pacific Northwest and includes numerous inpatient care, primary care, virtual care, urgent care, dedicated pediatric care and specialty services — including MultiCare Behavioral Health Network; MultiCare Indigo Urgent Care; Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital & Health Network, a comprehensive regional network of health services for children; Pulse Heart Institute; Multi...Care Rockwood Clinic, the largest multispecialty clinic in the Inland Northwest region. Health care is changing. And MultiCare is changing with it. But our commitment to our mission — Partnering for Healing and a Healthy Future — and our dedication to the health of those we serve remains constant and unwavering.
