Endometriosis care in Washington

Washington's specialist care is spread along Puget Sound and in Spokane. In Seattle, Swedish's Gynecology Specialty Center on First Hill merged its specialty gynecology and minimally invasive gynecological surgery practices into one location and lists endometriosis, painful periods and pelvic pain among the conditions it treats, and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health publishes an endometriosis page and describes a minimally invasive gynecologic surgery program. In Tacoma, MultiCare Ob/Gyn Associates lists endometriosis diagnosis and treatment and robotic and laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. In Spokane, Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center's Surgical and Medical Gynecology Clinic lists endometriosis and pelvic pain among the conditions it treats and robotic surgery for endometriosis among its procedures, and Washington State University's Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine calls itself Washington's community-based medical school. UW Medicine's pages refused automated requests, so Seattle's academic program is not described here.

Spokane is about 230 miles from Seattle in a straight line, Yakima about 110, Bellingham about 80 and Tacoma about 30, while Vancouver, Washington is about 10 miles from Portland, Oregon.

Washington adopted the Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion in 2014, so adults with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level can qualify for coverage. America's Health Rankings' 2026 report records 0.8 percent of Washington women aged 15 to 44 living in a county with no obstetric hospital, birth center or obstetric clinician. The Washington State Department of Health publishes a women's health page.
