Peninsula Community Health Services was founded in 1987 as a community clinic in downtown Bremerton and became a federally qualified health center (FQHC) in 1995. PCHS includes primary medical, dental, behavioral health counseling, substance use treatment, pharmacy services, and health education and promotion activities for all stages of life. Services are provided to all patients regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay. PCHS patients may qualify for a sliding fee discount based on their household income and family size. PCHS delivers a comprehensive and integrated approach to health care services and has many sites accredited as a Patient-Centered Medical and Dental Home by the Accreditation for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).
PCHS strives to eliminate healthcare disparities in our community. We have medical and dental clinics located throughout Kitsap and Mason Counties and a dedicated team working together to create a care plan thats right for you. We also bring that care directly to our patients who cant easily make it into our traditional clinics through our mobile clinics, school-based health centers, and by partnering with our community service agencies to deliver care on their premises.
Here at PCHS, our guiding principle is to see and value every person. We believe all patients have the right to be treated with respect and dignity with an acknowledgment that this includes their cultural, social, spiritual, and personal values and beliefs.
Were dedicated to tailoring our services to our community, and constantly look for ways to improve our organization to better serve the residents of the Kitsap County area. The majority of our Board of Director members are patients of PCHS. You can become a board member, too, by filling out our application.

I really appreciate the services I received from Dr. Berninghaus at the almira clinic. She went above and beyond to comfort and help me through my situation. I have a lot of teeth problems and she has been extremely helpful in getting my mouth back in shape and keeping me out of pain.

Consistently friendly team of professionals- they seem to time manage patient flow well- which I'm aware can get tricky.. & requires a great deal of team effort- and I don't know about you, but I find value in a work place that can operate as one unit! Tiny little waiting room, but like I mentioned, doesn't stay crowded for long.. they don't have much to distract waiting young ones, but one of the dentists (or hygienists) was kind enough to take notice, and thoughtful enough to step out from the clinical area, to give my daughter a book to read- she GAVE us this book, nodding her head it was virtually other kid saliva free- so my daughter was free to chew on it! Made an impression! Next appointment will be for me and baby!

This is a wonderful place to go. This facility has been friendly, tolerant and accommodating beyond measure. The doctor here remains the only person on earth i trust putting a needle in my face. Thank you guys for making a trip to the dentist something pleasant and painless.

Me and my son go here and actually it's the first time I have been to a doctor that actually listened to me. I also felt relaxed because I was able to get a woman doctor and she is very straight forward which I appreciate. The listening thing that is the most important. I even had my blood drawn here for tests and normally they jab my arm a million ways and still can't locate the vein so I leave all bruised. Nope, just once, she listened to my experiences and concerns and my worries and said "Ok, I won't do it until I know I have a vein." I was talking to her and before I knew anything happened she had the needle in and the blood was being drawn! So I love this place. That's just how I feel about it. I am about to schedule another visit! I actually look forward to scheduling my appointments!
