Virginia Mason Memorial

MultiCare Yakima Memorial Hospital, formerly known as Virginia Mason Memorial, is a 226-bed non-profit acute care facility located in Yakima, Washington. Serving as the primary healthcare hub for Central Washington, the hospital provides a wide range of services including cardiology, oncology, neurosciences, and the region's only Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The organization is recognized for its implementation of the Virginia Mason Production System (VMPS), a lean management methodology focused on patient safety and efficiency. After a period of affiliation with the Virginia Mason Health System from 2016 to 2020, the hospital was acquired by MultiCare Health System in January 2023, leading to expanded clinical capabilities and the integration of advanced healthcare technologies.
