Residents in Bellevue are fortunate enough to live next door to one of the best hospitals in the state, Overlake Hospital Medical Center. The hospital is the only level III trauma facility in the area, and has recently upgraded their emergency facilities to accommodate more patients.
Overlake hospital specializes in medical care for the elderly through its Senior Care program. It is one of only two hospitals in Washington State that participate in the national Nurses Improving Care for Health System Elders (NICHE) program that specially trains staff on how to care for an elderly population.
