At their Mar 24 Zoom meeting, Kingston North Kitsap Rotarians heard from Sarah Chamberlin, Executive Director of St. Michael Medical Center Foundation. The Medical Center, in Silverdale, recently underwent a $500m, 500k square-foot expansion, including a new 60k square-foot Cancer Center, an Acute Care facility, and a 60k square-foot Medical Pavilion.
St. Michael is part of the newly-merged Virginia Mason CHI Franciscan conglomerate that boasts 18k team members, 5k physicians, 11 hospitals, and 300 care centers.
Sarah showed stunning images of the new 248-bed facility, with surgical services that include robotic-assisted surgery, orthopedic and joint replacement, and expanded stroke and heart care. When asked about recent patient satisfaction surveys, she indicated St. Michael’s goal is 78% satisfaction. The most recent results exceeded 80%.
