Raising the standard of health
Improving health care across the state
We aspire to create healthier communities. That means bringing care and education to where people live, play and work. Because WSU is a land-grant university that already works in all 39 counties, we will be able to deliver services to diverse communities across the state.
We are rising to meet the needs of Washington today while also training the doctors, nurses and pharmacists of tomorrow.

Putting Washington’s health first
We care deeply for the people of Washington. We’re working to create personalized services by understanding your community’s unique health care needs and providing care where it’s needed the most.
Our services
We are dedicated to improving health and well-being. To that effort, here are services we currently provide:
- Comprehensive primary care
- Urgent care procedures
- Preventative screening for conditions such as diabetes, cholesterol, pregnancy, STDs, asthma and more
Referrals
We will develop a referral network for people seen in our mobile medical unit, connecting them with local providers for ongoing primary and specialty care.
Our Clinicians
We are doctors, nurses, pharmacists, navigators and scientists working together to promote well-being in Washington state. Because of our connection with Washington State University, patients will not only receive treatment from providers at the top of their field, they will also train future health care providers.
Our vision for a continuum of care
We are pursuing a health care model not practiced today, one that solves for the total picture of health and treats you wherever you are in your health care journey, from prevention and wellness strategies to treatments for complicated health conditions.
By making bold investments to solve problems and create simpler pathways to treatment, we will help people thrive.
Shaping tomorrow’s doctors
Our patients play an invaluable role in training the next generation of health care leaders. The experience our medical students receive as they train with the medical unit ranges beyond the clinical setting. They face challenges, collaborate with health care professionals and make connections with the communities they will one day be part of.
