Grand Opening of Swedish Issaquah

July 7, 2011

Local families, you have something to be excited about!  Something to celebrate!  Something to look forward to like Christmas morning!  July 14th is the grand opening of phase one of the Swedish Medical Center in Issaquah Highlands.

Because Macaroni Kid prides itself on keeping local parents in the know about family-friendly options, we've put together a preview of features for parents and kids included in this state-of-the-art facility.

  • Adventure Kids Playcare will be opening a second location on-site to provide care for kids while parents (or siblings) go to appointments and/or receive care.  How's that for making life a little easier for parents and more fun for kids?
  • In addition to wellness care for little ones, families will have access to a number of pediatric specialty care services on an outpatient basis at the Issaquah campus, including cardiology, gastroenterology, general surgery, orthopedics, sports medicine, and urology.
  • Having a sick or injured child in need of emergency care is hard enough on parents, so Swedish strives to provide a No Wait Emergency Room.  When the unexpected happens, you can have peace-of-mind that help is nearby and prompt!
  • The Campus includes a walking trail perfect for taking walks and getting some fresh air, two things grown-ups and kids can appreciate!

Clearly there's reason to celebrate!  And this weekend the entire community is invited to do just that!  On Saturday, July 9th from 10 am to 5 pm, see the new medical center for yourself with walk-through tours, classes, health screenings, Teddy Bear Clinic, and more!  A great way to really get to know the medical center is by participating in "Stamping Around Swedish." Visit 12 locations, collect 12 stamps, and trade in your passport for a FREE teddy bear!

You can find all the details HERE.  And did we mention, it's all FREE?

As if all that isn't enough, Swedish has also partnered with Highlands Day to offer an amazing line-up of outdoor family fun activities!  The festival includes live entertainment, bouncy houses, vendor booths, carnival games and more.  Again, all of this is FREE!  Clearly, this is a Macaroni MUST!
