According to a recently released study by Healthgrades (http://www.healthgrades.com/), Olympia's St. Peter Hospital, as well as Capital Medical center were ranked among the top 5% nationally in patient safety. The study looked at over 5000 hospitals and analyzed over 41 million patient records. Of the nine Washington hospitals that landed in the top 5 percent, two are in Olympia.

That's great news for Olympia residents, who rely on those two hospitals for their medical care, as well as for the military family members of soldiers and airmen stationed at Fort Lewis and McChord AFB, who may have to rely on the local medical facilities.

Incidentally, Olympia was also ranked as the safest mid-sized town in the country by Spelling's Best Places security survey earlier this year.
