Providence St. Peter Hospital, located in the Lilly Road Medical District of Olympia, Washington is Providence Health & Services’s second largest Washington state hospital. Providence St. Peter features 390 beds in the medical/surgical tower with 42 private rooms in the emergency department (including a four-bed locked mental health evaluation unit), 18 beds in the Psychiatry Building, and 42 beds in the Critical Care Unit. This facility is a non-profit teaching hospital founded by the Sisters of Providence in 1887. Providence St. Peter Hospital offers comprehensive medical, surgical and behavioral health services.
The hospital was opened by the Sisters of Charity of Providence on September 23, 1887, at an eight-room building in downtown Olympia on the modern-day grounds of the Washington State Capitol campus. It was replaced in 1923 by a new building with capacity for 100 patients.[1] By the 1960s, St. Peter Hospital was deemed insufficient for the growing South Sound region and a new hospital was planned. The current, 12-story hospital building on Lilly Road opened on January 6, 1971.[1][2]
Providence St. Peter Hospital's medical library is open for the use of medical staff, residents, medical students, hospital employees, and the general public.[3] The library is located on the Lower Level of the Medical/Surgical Tower but has been closed since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020.
Wifi internet service is available in the hospital for patients and visitors with their own laptops and other wireless devices.
