Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital centralizes, expands pediatric urgent care, outpatient clinics in new Puyallup medical pavilion

TACOMA, Wash.— Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital & Health Network relocated several pediatric clinics in Puyallup to a new medical pavilion, centralizing services to improve access to care for patients in East Pierce County.

“We’re excited to open this facility and believe it’ll help many patients and families receive comprehensive care much closer to home,” said Jeff Poltawsky, president and market leader of Mary Bridge Children’s. “By expanding our available services in Puyallup, families in East Pierce County and the surrounding area can now have a similar experience to that of our Tacoma outpatient center, where they have access to their child’s primary care team as well as many pediatric specialists and therapies to help their children thrive, heal and live their lives to the fullest.”

The new 40,000-square-foot medical pavilion, located at 1700 Fifth St. SE in Puyallup, is now home to the following Mary Bridge Children’s clinics:
