Hospitals exist across the state, but many of Washington's best-known medical facilities are located in and around Seattle. The Seattle-Tacoma area has five major hospitals: Harborview Medical Center, University of Washington Medical Center, Swedish Medical Center, MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital, and St. Joseph Medical Center. The Seattle-area hospitals are concentrated on First Hill, which is home to Virginia Mason Medical Center (the neighborhood has received the nickname Pill Hill owing to the high concentration of healthcare facilities).
