HMC changes to ‘744’ telephone prefix
Harborview Medical Center is migrating telephone numbers with the 731 prefix to the 744 prefix. The four-digit extensions are not affected. For example, if the current number is 206-731-2000, the new number will be 206-744-2000. Callers can continue using the 731 prefix until Dec. 31. After that, a recording will provide callers with the new 744 number and will forward calls automatically for at least six months.
