Mary Bridge Children's Hospital

What Mary Bridge Children's Hospital does

Mary Bridge Children's Hospital is a nonprofit pediatric health system headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, operating as the dedicated children's arm of MultiCare Health System. Founded in 1955 and now operating from a new 262,000 square foot standalone campus that opened in May 2026, the organization provides pediatric primary, specialty, emergency, and inpatient care from birth through age 18 across 78 regional locations in the Pacific Northwest. Its clinical platform centers on an 82-bed flagship hospital with a Level II Pediatric Trauma Center designation, a 70-bed Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit staffed 24/7 by board-certified specialists, and one of only two pediatric ECMO/ECLS programs in Washington state, supported by a 276-provider medical staff, a Pediatric Transport Team, and an integrated outpatient network spanning primary care pediatrics, specialty clinics, therapy services, and an Immunization Clinic. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service healthcare delivery reimbursed by commercial insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid (covering more than 60% of families served), supplemented by philanthropic contributions channeled through the Mary Bridge Children's Foundation; the organization reinvests surplus into care delivery, capital projects, and community health programs. Mary Bridge's go-to-market combines direct-to-family care, a regional provider referral network, Epic-based electronic medical record integration, online self-serve scheduling, MyChart patient portal access, and a recently announced co-development partnership with Cincinnati Children's Hospital to expand pediatric heart care and complex surgery access in the region.
