Swedish Bariatric Metabolic Endocrine Center

Swedish's mission compels us to go beyond what we do. This commitment infuses all that we do. It is who and what we are. Our mission begins with our commitment to patients and the health and well-being of our greater community. Safety is a core Swedish value, and we are driven to cultivate a culture where patients are safe every day. Our more than 10,000 staff members receive continual training in communication skills, error prevention, team support, and clear communication. We work hard to embed our sustainability efforts at every level of our organization, and this has helped our healthcare system grow and expand. Swedish has been a national leader in patient safety and quality care since 1910. Dr. Nils Johanson, its founder, arrived in Seattle over a century ago and discovered no hospital that met his high standards for quality care. So he built one. Swedish carries on Dr. Johanson’s tradition today. Our top priority is still safety and quality for everyone we serve. Learn more about quality and safety.
