About Harborview Medical Center
Harborview Medical Center is a comprehensive health care facility owned by King County Government, governed by a County-appointed Board of Trustees, and managed by the University of Washington School of Medicine. Its primary mission is to provide high quality to the indigent and under-served residents of King County. In serving a four-state region, Harborview is home to the nationally renowned level-one trauma center, and the Medic One Emergency Response Unit which was established as one of the country's first paramedic response programs. Many of Washington State's emergency medical service technicians are trained at Harborview. The Medical Center combines state-of-the-art emergency medical services with general medicine and specialty clinics, including centers of excellence in burn, neurosciences, ophthalmology, infectious disease, and rehab therapy. Harborview Medical Center is the designated disaster control hospital for the region.
Over the years Harborview's medical facilities have expanded and changed to meet the demands of a growing population and progress in the fields of patient care, medicine, and technology. The current campus spans 13 acres and multiple buildings connected by underground tunnels.
In 2020 the voters of King County approved $1.74 billion in bond funding to support new facilities at Harborview Medical Center. The resulting Harborview Bond Program will build over one million square feet of new and renovated spaces. The new facilities will include construction of a new-high rise inpatient bed tower, and a new behavioral health building. Seismic renovations to the Center Tower and Harborview Hall will increase capacity for supportive services and respite beds. Additional upgrades are designated throughout various facilities, including a full renovation of the Pioneer Square Clinic. The Harborview Bond Program will impact the entire campus including new street and helipad access. The work is expected to extend over a minimum 8 years and the campus will remain operational 24/7 throughout the duration of the work.
