Company History
Our Mission:
Our business is health care. Our mission is to provide healing and wellness opportunities with care, compassion and dignity.
At Lake Chelan Community Hospital, we take your care to heart. By partnering with specialists and larger hospitals across the state, we ensure high quality medical services are available to you close to home.
We combine that expertise with personalized care that empowers our patients and families as they embrace healing and wellness opportunities.
As a small community hospital, we are a vital part of a healthcare network that extends throughout the state and beyond. We don’t compete with larger facilities; we collaborate and play an important role in the continuum of care our residents need. We play a key role in trauma care, diagnosis and rehabilitative care that complements the services of major medical centers.
It is our priority to work with our Lake Chelan neighbors and partners to build a healthier community. As our community grows, we recognize the need for high quality medical services will increase as well. We are committed to continue planning for the future of healthcare in the Lake Chelan Valley, ensuring the availability of those services close to home.
Founded in 1948, Lake Chelan Community Hospital (LCCH) is a fully-accredited Critical Access Hospital in North Central Washington's Lake Chelan Valley.
