Swedish Edmonds Expansion: On Schedule to Open November 2015 The largest expansion in more than 40 years
is on schedule at Swedish Edmonds as
evident by recent construction milestones.
The last of the steel beams were placed in
April, including the sky bridge beams
connecting the new building and original
hospital facility. Next, concrete floors will be
poured, a process expected to be completed
by early July.
When completed in November 2015, the
new 77,000-square-foot expansion will
feature a modern emergency department,
spacious lobby, enhanced imaging services
and more. A parking garage, with more than
350 free parking spaces, opened last June.
A public celebration of the grand opening will
be announced shortly.
Construction of the Swedish Edmonds hospital
expansion is progressing rapidly as seen by this
view of the facility construction in late April. Read
more about the expansion and the new sky bridge
below, on page 1 of Vital Signs.
Sky bridge beams were placed in April as part of
the Swedish Edmonds expansion project. The
process of pouring the concrete floor for the
bridge is next with the final building tie in for the
bridge anticipated to happen in late June to early
July.

doctors Patani, Grassman and
Teply! They are experts at the job.”

Swedish Edmonds volunteers were
celebrated with a picnic-themed
dinner in April honoring the many
hours of service they donate to the
hospital to support caregivers and
patients. The hospital has 388
volunteers who donated 57,064
hours of time in 2014.
At the dinner, volunteers were
treated to mini-pulled pork sliders,
fresh made side dishes and
homemade lemonade served in
mason jars from a lemonade stand.
Volunteer Claudene Cox received
her Hours Award pin for 19,225
cumulative service hours. Many
other volunteers also received pins
for the donated hours they have
contributed over the years. Each
volunteer was presented with a
personalized picnic blanket that
reads “Volunteers a Work of Heart -
Swedish Edmonds Volunteer.”
Thank you to our volunteers for your
dedication and service!

The City of Edmonds is making plans
to improve the 76th Avenue and
212th Street intersection right of way
in Edmonds across from Edmonds
Woodway High School and one
block north of Swedish Edmonds,
according to a recent article in the
Edmonds Beacon.
Improvements would include
restructuring the right turn lanes
westbound, southbound and
northbound, and adding left turn
lanes north and southbound. In
addition, a new traffic signal, new
sidewalks, ADA compliant curb
ramps, bike lanes, street lights,
storm water drainage and water
pipelines would be implemented.
The improvement project is
scheduled to get underway next
year.
