Our providers have collaborative relationships with local primary care and other specialty providers and make themselves available for hospital GI consultative and procedural services 24/7 providing inpatient, outpatient and Emergency Room GI services for the community. Every day our doctors provide high quality GI hospital care and contribute to increased patient satisfaction and decreased length of hospital stays. At Providence St. Peter Hospital we also offer more advanced therapeutic and interventional procedures such as Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (used in diagnosing and treating many disorders of the digestive system).
Infusion Center
Our Care Center houses our outpatient Infusion Center which specializes in providing our patients with intravenous (IV) infusion therapy to treat specific GI medical conditions.
Infusion therapies offered include iron therapy such as with Injectafer, specialized treatment for Crohn’s disease such as Remicade, Infliximab, Inflectra, Cimzia, Entyvio and Stelara infusions. To ensure optimal patient outcomes, a provider is in the office at all times an infusion is underway and continually available to the patient, infusion RN and clinical staff. The infusion team is highly skilled in IV placement, patient assessment and monitoring, collaborating with the onsite provider and managing side effects and/or allergic reactions.

Locations
We understand that convenience is one part of a great health care experience. Our Olympia location is in central Thurston County near Providence St. Peter Hospital is easily accessible from Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater and on a major bus line. We have an efficient Care Center (clinic), outpatient Infusion Services and a Medicare approved outpatient Endoscopy Center all onsite. We believe that informed patients are better prepared to make decisions regarding their health and well-being so we’ve designed this website to include not only information about our services but also about GI conditions and treatments via a link to the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) library of patient education.
Weight Loss Management
There are many health conditions, including specific GI conditions, that are improved significantly or may even be resolved by losing excess weight and maintaining a healthy/normal weight or body mass index (BMI). The principle of excess weight gain is simple: energy intake exceeds energy spent. However, being overweight or obese is complex and the result of a set of interactions between genetic, behavioral and environmental factors. As is commonly known, weight management is not typically easy.
When your provider has recommended weight loss to achieve a normal/healthy BMI, making an informed choice about how to proceed requires consideration of your current health and your weight loss goals. Always seek the advice of your primary care provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or healthcare treatment before undertaking any weight loss program.
Achieving and maintaining a normal BMI may be accomplished in a number of ways including behavior and lifestyle modifications, increased physical activity through regular exercise, decreased caloric intake based on nutrition education and healthy eating, a supervised non-surgical weight management program and/or weight loss surgery.
Regionally there are multiple options for supervised weight management programs including, but not limited to, WW (formerly Weight Watchers), Jenny Craig, 30/10 Weight Loss for Life, 20/20 Lifestyles, Nutrisystem, TOPS (Taking Pounds Off Sensibly) Club, Inc. and others. Please take the time to review your options, discuss them with your primary care provider and make an informed choice.
