Why the wait? Understanding Emergency Department wait times

At Olympic Medical Center, your health and well-being are our top priorities. We understand that visiting the emergency department can be a stressful experience, especially when waiting to be seen. There are several factors that can influence how quickly we can attend to each patient, including patient volume, patient transfers, bed availability and boarders.

While wait times may fluctuate, please know that we are dedicated to providing you with the best care possible.
