Bellingham’s St. Joseph’s Hospital was ranked in the top 100 hospitals out of over 2900 by Solucient, and independent health care research organization. Hospitals were ranked based on quality of care, operational efficiency, financial and adaptation to the environment.

This honor comes to Whatcom County’s hospital at a special time as they are celebrating their 115th anniversary. This picture shows the hospital in 1901 when it was located on Forest Street.

Their current facility was built in the 1960s and has expanded since then.
