Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital started its work back in 1950, culminating an effort that was started six years earlier, when the citizens of Yakima, WA, decided that the community needed a hospital to provide much needed health care services. Equipped with 218 beds, Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital is at the heart of a larger medical complex that provides a wide variety of services.
