Valley Medical Center

Is the largest nonprofit healthcare provider between Seattle and Tacoma, serving over 400,000 residents. In addition to the hospital, the Medical Center operates a network of more than two dozen primary care, urgent care and specialty clinics throughout Southeast King County.

Located in Renton, Washington, VMC offers medical, surgical and 24-hour emergency care as a Level III Trauma Center. VMC is a regional resource with recognized medical specialties in joint replacement and orthopedics, neuroscience, stroke and spine, sleep medicine, childbirth and neonatal care and provides specialized heart and vascular, and cancer treatment.

Rich Roodman

Valley Medical Center was less than 400,000 square feet when Rich Roodman became CEO on Jan. 1, 1983. The non-profit public hospital on South 43rd Street grew to 1.6 million square feet when the new emergency department tower opened in 2010.

That size doesn’t include the hospital’s network of more than two dozen primary care, urgent care and specialty clinics throughout Southeast King County.

Valley Medical’s size isn’t the only change since Roodman, then 34, came on board. In 1983, Valley Medical, or Valley General Hospital as it was called until the spring 1984, focused on general practice.

Today, the hospital houses a slew of specialties, including a Birth Center, a Breast Center, a Joint Center, a Neuroscience Institute and a Sleep Center.
