The Firstenburg Tower was honored with several awards in 2007. Read more about the awards ...

The E.W. & Mary Firstenburg Tower represents the most advanced architectural and clinical design in the history of southwest Washington. In fact, we expect the award-winning Firstenburg Tower to be a showplace facility with patients from around the country coming to experience the extraordinary facility's built-in thoughtfulness.

Architectural Wonder
From private elevators to convenient family spaces, every detail was thought out during an intense design process that included physicians, staff and architects from Seattle's NBBJ, a global design firm dedicated to helping organizations create innovative places.

What's Inside
Five of the eight floors in the new tower are complete. Over the course of the following year, the remaining three floors will be under construction adding a total of 154 private rooms. For details of each floor and what you'll find, click here.

New homes for exceptional medicine
The tower will house major services of three of PeaceHealth Southwest's most experienced centers of Excellence:
  • Heart & Vascular Center, which includes the region's top cardiologists and cardiac surgeons working together to help thousands of residents who have everything from clogged arteries to complex bypass surgeries
     
  • Bone & Joint Center, made up of partnerships with Rebound Surgical Specialists and Kaiser orthopedic surgeons
     
  • Brain & Spine Center, a compilation of expert services from our Pain Clinic, Rebound's neurosurgeons, Vancouver Neurology, Columbia Imaging Group and other community specialists working to treat health issues ranging from stroke to advanced tumor removal
