Mayor Ralph highlights Valley Medical Center ribbon cutting, new oncology urgent care

Mayor Dana Ralph said she attended a ribbon-cutting event at Valley Medical Center’s cancer facility and praised the hospital’s new infusion center and clinic space.

"Valley offers premier cancer care," Ralph said, noting the clinic includes "an urgent care for oncology patients" so people "can be seen right away" instead of spending hours in an emergency room. She described the clinic as staffed by providers who "know exactly what the patient and their family are dealing with."

Ralph said the clinic expansion was made possible in part by "the generous donations of community" and thanked Valley Medical Center and residents of South King County for increased access to care. She said the ribbon cutting celebrated the clinic portion of a facility that opened about a year ago with infusion services.
