MultiCare Health System

Our History

At Good Samaritan Hospital, our reputation for excellent rehabilitation services is rooted in history.

We began offering rehabilitation care when we first opened in 1952. We built our first rehabilitation center in 1954. A larger center opened in 1982 and served us until it was replaced by our current state-of-the-art facility in March 2001.

Located in the west wing of Good Samaritan Hospital, the Good Samaritan Rehabilitation Center is the premier rehabilitation facility in western Washington. The center is dedicated to Dr. Sherburn W. Heath Jr., our first medical director. Dr. Heath served as director for 44 years and led the way in establishing the quality and reputation of our services.

At both our inpatient and outpatient facilities, our teams of physicians, nurses and therapists offer outstanding quality care to all of our patients.
