Health Care

A key benefit to residents in Lacey is the outstanding quality of local health care. Health care is a major industry in South Puget Sound, demonstrated by the fact that three of the top employers in Thurston County are regional health care facilities, serving Thurston and surrounding counties. The size of the health care community is driven by the growing number of seniors attracted to the Lacey community and the increasing number of young families who live here, all of whom are served by the quality institutions in the community. This level of care is one of the attractions that help to draw new businesses and development to the Lacey / Thurston area.
