CHI Franciscan and Virginia Mason are now united to build the
future of patient-centered care across the Pacific Northwest. That
means a seamlessly connected system offering quality care close to
home. From basic health needs to the most complex, highly
specialized care, our patients can count on us to meet their needs
with convenient access to the region’s most prestigious experts and
innovative treatments and technologies.
As a part of our organization, we currently offer the following
additional benefits:
St Anthony is a designated Pathway Hospital. St Anthony Hospital's
Emergency is a department ready for whatever comes through the
doors. Our state of the art Emergency Department is comprised
of 18 private rooms and 2 trauma resuscitation beds with IV carts,
bedside supply carts and computers in every room. Our
outstanding staff provide compassionate, high quality care that is
respectful and patient and family-centered. Our nurses
utilize advanced technology and evidence-based guidelines in caring
for our patients. Our patient population includes all types
of critically ill cases such as sepsis, MI, trauma caused by falls,
COPD, CHF and renal failure to name a few. We have a Cath Lab
on site and can take code STEMI patients
24/7.
Our Emergency Department follows the split flow model with direct
bedding. We have a “quick look” RN and a Rapid Track out of 2
rooms during peak times. CHI-Franciscan’s Virtual ICU helps monitor
our critically ill patients in the Emergency Department by
providing a 2nd set of eyes by experienced ICU RNs who follow those
patients from a distance. Our physicians and RNs practice a
dual assessment model where both are present in a patient’s room to
assess and set a plan of care collaboratively. Our staff have
a close working relationship with the local EMS and we function as
a Level IV Trauma facility with an EMS Bay Station and work
proactively on disaster drills.
St. Anthony Hospital enjoys the benefits of being part of the CHI
Franciscan Health family of hospitals and other health care
