The hospital is accredited by the joint commission. The hospital has a da Vinci surgical robot that is used for surgical procedures.

History

Overlake Memorial Hospital opened in 1960 at a cost of $1.2 million. Renamed to Overlake Hospital Medical Center in 1983 amid an expansion to add more services, it opened a helicopter landing pad in 2009 to receive cardiac and stroke patients. Overlake began opening regional urgent care and specialty clinics across the Eastside in the early 2000s and expanded its Bellevue hospital. The medical center submitted an application to build a hospital in Issaquah in 2004, but lost their bid to Swedish Medical Center.

In 2024, Overlake announced that it would join the MultiCare health system, a non-profit provider based in Tacoma, as its flagship facility in the northern Puget Sound region.
