MultiCare Health System's Auburn Medical Center is a hospital in Auburn, Washington. It is a level III trauma center with 195 beds. Auburn Medical Center began serving patients in 1921.[1] The hospital is owned and operated by MultiCare Health System, a Tacoma-based not-for-profit integrated health organization.
History
In 1921 Drs. Owen Taylor and Martin Lacey opened Taylor-Lacey Hospital. This 46-bed facility featured the area’s first emergency ambulance. While the hospital changed hands and names several times over the coming years, it eventually became known as Auburn Medical Center. (Other names include Owen Taylor Hospital, Suburban Hospital and Auburn General.)[2]
Prior to opening the hospital, the physicians provided care out of the Oscar Blomeen House, a private residence in Auburn that still stands today.
By 1956, Auburn General had 13 doctors, a nursery and maternity ward as well as new X-ray and pathology laboratories, making it one of the finest hospitals of its size in the Northwest. At the time, the hospital was the only building in Auburn with an elevator. The Stewards Foundation operated the hospital for 25 years, investing in a number of upgrades throughout its tenure.
In 1964 the hospital’s 46 beds were increased to 66 and a new wing was added, housing an obstetrical department, a nursery for newborns, as well as radiological services. This expansion was followed by another one five years later that added a new surgical department, emergency services and more.
In 2012 MultiCare purchased Auburn Regional Medical Center from for-profit Universal Health Services. The newly named MultiCare Auburn Medical Center became the fifth hospital in the MultiCare Health System. A full renovation of the Emergency Department was completed in 2017 and a new adult psychiatric unit was added in 2016 to help address the community’s behavioral health needs.[1][2]
Facilities
Auburn Medical Center has 195 licensed beds. It is a level III adult trauma center, level II Neonatal unit, contains 7 operating rooms, 1 cardiac catheterization lab and 58 behavioral health beds.[3]
Volume
In 2023 Auburn Medical Center had 7,422 inpatient admissions, delivered 1,274 babies, performed 2,302 outpatient surgeries, 884 inpatient surgeries and received 42,695 emergency room visits. [3]
