Dedication to Orthopedic Patients
Swedish's 6th South floor is dedicated to caring for orthopedic patients, while the 7th North floor caters to patients undergoing surgical spine procedures. This allows our nursing and care staff to specialize in caring for these patients, who often require complex pain management before and after surgery and support to be able to move/get out of bed the day following surgery. In addition, our ortho and spine patients enjoy concierge services and VIP amenities to make their stays more comfortable>>
