History

Overlake Memorial Hospital opened in 1960 at a cost of $1.2 million.[4] Renamed to Overlake Hospital Medical Center in 1983 amid an expansion to add more services,[5] it opened a helicopter landing pad in 2009 to receive cardiac and stroke patients.[6] Overlake began opening regional urgent care and specialty clinics across the Eastside in the early 2000s and expanded its Bellevue hospital.[5] The medical center submitted an application to build a hospital in Issaquah in 2004, but lost their bid to Swedish Medical Center.[7]

In 2024, Overlake announced that it would join the MultiCare health system, a non-profit provider based in Tacoma, as its flagship facility in the northern Puget Sound region.[8]
