Ancillary services include pharmacy, lab, physical and occupational therapy, and retail shops for eye wear and hearing aids.

Group Health physicians, surgeons, and midwifes will provide inpatient care at Overlake Hospital.

The facility was designed by Ellerbe Becket in association with Northwest Architectural Company. Ellerbe Becket’s work in health care design includes more than 90 years partnering with the Mayo Clinic.

The center will open on July 1.
