Community Health Center of Snohomish County - Lynnwood Clinic

The Community Health Center of Snohomish County - Lynnwood Clinic is a vital part of the larger Community Health Center of Snohomish County (CHC) network, a non-profit organization established in 1983. Its core mission is to provide diverse communities with access to high-quality, affordable primary healthcare. The Lynnwood Clinic, like other CHC locations, embodies a patient-centered care philosophy, where a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals works collaboratively to address the "whole person" – mind and body. This clinic offers a wide range of services, including comprehensive primary medical care (general physical exams, internal medicine, pediatrics, family practice, prenatal care, immunizations, chronic disease management, treatment for minor illnesses), dental care (including hygiene), behavioral health services (for mental health and addiction issues), pharmacy services, and physical therapy. They also provide specialized services like smoking cessation, nutrition education, contraception, well-baby care, and pregnancy testing. A key aspect of their service model is accessibility. The Lynnwood Clinic welcomes patients with various insurance plans, including Washington Apple Health, Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Tricare, and select private insurances. Crucially, they also serve uninsured individuals, offering assistance with signing up for Washington Apple Health or providing a sliding fee discount based on household income and family size. This commitment to affordability and inclusivity ensures that financial barriers do not prevent individuals from receiving necessary care. Beyond direct patient care, CHC is actively involved in community outreach, particularly supporting individuals experiencing homelessness through clinical outreach programs. They also operate school-based health centers to provide convenient medical, dental, and mental health care to students. Their integrated care approach means patients can access multiple services under one network, facilitating seamless and comprehensive treatment. The clinic's commitment to respecting diverse cultures, languages, and personal preferences further underscores its dedication to patient-centered care.
