History

Before the existence of Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, there were two hospitals within the city of Everett: Providence Hospital and General Hospital Medical Center.

Providence Hospital was created when the Sisters of Providence purchased the Monte Cristo Hotel in 1904 and converted it into a hospital with 75 beds,^[2][3][4] admitting its first patient on April 5, 1905.^[5] It was staffed by 11 Sisters and 3 other employees. In its first year, the new hospital served over 400 patients.^[3] In 1923, the Sisters of Providence borrowed $200,000 and built a new hospital with 126 beds adjacent to the old site, which opened on May 12, 1924.^[3][5] It underwent a further $14.5 million renovation in 1962.^[3]

General Hospital was founded by members of the Woman's Book Club of Everett in 1894,^[6][7] with the cornerstone being laid in an existing building at 3322 Broadway.^[8] In 1923, a group of businessmen rallied the community and raised $150,000 to purchase a new site and construct a modern hospital with 74 beds, which opened on February 27, 1924.^[5] It further expanded to 127 beds in 1949, and a seven-story, $782,000 patient care tower was completed in 1965. In 1990, the hospital elected to change its name to General Hospital Medical Center.

In 1994, Providence Hospital and General Hospital Medical Center merged, forming Providence General Medical Center. Rather than a merger of equals, Providence Hospital took over the operations of General Hospital, with the merged entity recognizing the founding of Providence Hospital as its own founding.^[9][10] The name was changed again in 2000 to Providence Everett Medical Center.^[3] In 2002, the five-story Pavilion for Women and Children opened at the Pacific campus.^[3] It was followed by the establishment of Providence Everett Healthcare Clinic in 2004. In 2007, Providence partnered with local care providers to open the Providence Regional Cancer Partnership, offering outpatient oncology programs. In 2008, to better reflect its role in the area, the hospital changed its name to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.^[11] The Marshall and Katherine Cymbaluk Medical Tower opened at the Colby campus in June 2011.

PRMCE is one of several

The first U.S. case of COVID-19 was identified in a patient at Providence Regional Medical Center on January 20, 2020.^[12]

In October 2019, professional and technical employees at the hospital represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) authorized a strike, citing what they perceived were inadequate offers from hospital administrators; both sides eventually reached an agreement on January 8, 2020, after the union announced plans to strike the prior week.^[13][14] More than a year later, on June 4, 2021, nurses at the hospital additionally represented by the union authorized a strike as well despite beginning negotiations with hospital administrators in October 2020; they also cited inadequate offers from the administrators along with major stress and resulting burnout due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[13][15]
