About Community Health of Central Washington

Community Health of Central Washington was founded with one bold and clear vision: All people in our region should enjoy access to affordable and appropriate health care. Our mission is to provide quality healthcare through service and education. That sounds simple enough, but providing quality health care service is complex. Primary Care Community Health of Central Washington is growing to meet the needs of our communities. But being big is not what makes us great. It is a thousand little things that make us great. Things like: dedicated primary care practitioners – family doctors, pediatricians, internists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and dental providers – working together for quality, and working individually to be a personal care provider to each of their patients. We team those providers with more than 140 additional staff members to assist patients with information, education, coordination, and support they need to manage their own health and to navigate today’s complex health care system; pharmacists, psychologists, outreach workers, nurse care managers, lab techs, x-ray techs and others who, as part of the care team, expand the scope of services avail...able to patients at CHCW sites. Today, CHCW is the medical home for more than 30,000 people in central Washington. We provide comprehensive care for all ages, regardless of the ability to pay. Our patients receive preventive services, care for acute and chronic illness, and care in our clinics, hospitals and other sites. We provide prenatal and obstetric services in Yakima and Kittitas Counties.
