International Community Health Services

The Bellevue Medical & Dental Clinic is a key location of International Community Health Services (ICHS), a well-established and highly respected non-profit community health organization with a rich history dating back to 1973. ICHS was founded by Asian American activists to address systemic barriers to healthcare for immigrant communities. Today, it has expanded to multiple clinics and service sites across King County, Washington, upholding its mission to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate health and wellness services and promote health access for all. The Bellevue clinic serves as a vital healthcare hub for residents of the Eastside, including areas like Sammamish, Issaquah, Newcastle, Kirkland, and Kenmore. It offers a comprehensive suite of primary care services, including wellness and prevention, urgent care, women's and men's health, infant and well-child examinations, immunizations, and chronic disease management. Behavioral health services, including professional consultation and treatment for depression, anxiety, and relationship issues, are also available for enrolled patients aged 13 and older, with both in-person and virtual visit options. Dental care is a significant offering at the Bellevue clinic, encompassing comprehensive examinations, preventive dentistry (sealants, fluoride), restorative services (fillings, crowns, bridges), emergency care, oral health education, extractions, minor oral surgery, and root canal therapies. The clinic is committed to making every visit a positive experience and providing high-quality care for optimal oral health across all ages, including specialized pediatric dental care. ICHS, through its various clinics like Bellevue, is deeply committed to health equity. They welcome all individuals regardless of race, ethnicity, immigration status, insurance coverage (accepting private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and Washington Apple Health), or ability to pay. For those without insurance or with limited coverage, a sliding-scale discount is available. The organization also provides interpretation services in over 70 languages to ensure effective communication between patients and providers. Beyond direct medical and dental care, ICHS emphasizes a holistic approach to wellness, offering nutrition services, community outreach, health education, and assistance with health insurance enrollment. The Bellevue Medical & Dental Clinic embodies ICHS's dedication to integrated, patient-centered care within a diverse community context.
