More about Olympia Orthopaedic Associates

The practice positions itself as a Center of Excellence for comprehensive orthopaedic care, offering services including virtual urgent care, a walk-in orthopaedic urgent clinic open seven days a week, and specialized trauma and osteoporosis care. In 2024, Olympia Orthopaedic Associates joined PELTO Health Partners, a growing network of over 500 independent physicians and 6,000 employees across six states, which aims to preserve practice independence while advancing value-based care. The organization employs between 201 and 500 staff members and generates an estimated $5M to $25M in annual revenue. For nursing professionals, Oly Ortho offers opportunities primarily in advanced practice roles such as Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNPs) in trauma surgery and osteoporosis management. The practice emphasizes collaboration with surgeons, PAs, and other ARNPs in a dynamic orthopaedic environment. However, employee review data from Indeed and Glassdoor paints a mixed picture of workplace satisfaction, with below-average ratings across multiple dimensions including management, culture, and work-life balance.

The organization's mission is to improve the quality of life for people in the community by helping keep 'Your Life in Motion.' They emphasize personalized, passionate, and prompt care for bones, muscles, and joints. As part of PELTO Health Partners, they value practice independence, clinical excellence, and value-based healthcare delivery.
