Capitol Region Hospital Expands Behavioral Health Services

Health officials in Olympia say the move is meant to keep pace with a fast-growing population and rising demand for local care.

"This is something our community has been asking for, and we're glad to finally see it come together," said Megan Walker, clinic director in Olympia.

The expansion is expected to add roughly 32 new positions, including clinical and support staff, and comes as regional population growth pushes demand for care to record levels.

"We're proud of what this means for Olympia and the people who live here." — Megan Walker

Patients are encouraged to check with their provider directly for scheduling as the new services come online.
