Patients & Visitors
Thank you for choosing Swedish for your care. Our staff is dedicated to providing the excellent care Swedish is known for. Your well-being is our primary concern, and we want your stay to be as comfortable as possible.

The Patient and Family Handbook is also available in these languages:

- A la Carte dining service is available for patients, guests and staff 6:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m., seven days a week; call ext. 5-5555 from any internal phone
Visit the Welcome Center Desk at Swedish First Hill to inquire about wheelchair escorts, valet service and any other needed personal assistance.
In addition to Starbucks, the main hospital lobby also features a cash machine (ATM).
Pick up a Swedish Art Guide in the main lobby and take a stroll to see the hundreds of original works of art that grace the walls of public spaces at Swedish. This largely donated public collection stems from the hospital’s commitment to provide an enriching environment for our patients and their visitors.
Swedish offers an excellent variety of books, brochures, videos and audio tapes on virtually every health topic. Contact the Community Health Education Department at 206-386-2502 Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m for more information or to request health-related materials.
