Careers at Harborview Medical Center

At Harborview, life-defining moments occur every day. We’re driven by our mission to serve the greater good by improving the health of the public.

Every team member is proud to provide the same world-class care for patients from every walk of life, especially our most vulnerable and underserved neighbors. We’re proud of our legacy of providing care for those without health insurance, people who are incarcerated, people suffering from mental illness or substance abuse, and patients who need the highest level of emergency, trauma or burn care.

As the only Level I trauma and burn center in the region, we care for patients from Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho, and serve as the disaster preparedness hospital for King County.

Many of our patients choose Harborview for planned procedures like laser surgery for vision correction, brain surgery or vascular surgery. We’re regional leaders in HIV/AIDS medicine. U.S. News & World Report recognizes UW Medicine hospitals as “high performing” across array of common adult procedures and conditions.

Whether you’re a doctor, nurse, technician, therapist, admitting clerk or cafeteria worker, you’ll be a vital, valued part of our team. Our hospitality staff cheers patients as they take their first steps following an accident. Our baristas learn the names — and favorite drinks — of family members. Financial counselors work closely with patients and families to help them understand their options.

No matter how great the challenge, we find a way to get it done together, while creating a true, personal connection with each of our patients.

That’s the power of people who listen to each other — and an essential part of what makes working at Harborview so special.

As part of UW Medicine, we’re committed to enhancing our level of care through teaching, community service and research. You’ll experience and benefit from our active support of undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate and continuing education programs for virtually every healthcare profession.
