Unity Care NW is a local, non-profit health care provider that is part of a national network of community health centers. Also known as a Federally Qualified Health Center, we work to improve access to health care for everyone, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.
Created by a coalition of community leaders, health professionals, volunteers, faith-based organizations, and concerned citizens, Unity Care NW has been providing high-quality health care services for over 30 years.
The nations community health center movement began during the War on Poverty. For over 50 years, community health centers have provided integrated health care to underserved populations, reduced barriers to health care, and offered high-quality care at lower costs, saving billions of dollars for taxpayers.
Unity Care NW provides affordable primary medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services for children and adults. With a focus on prevention, our integrated care team provides comprehensive coordination of your health care needs. We provide high-quality health care in a respectful, coordinated, and caring manner for the whole person, the whole family, and the whole community.
Unity Care NW accepts Washington Apple Health (Medicaid), Medicare, and most private insurance plans. For those who do not have insurance or who have high deductibles or co-pays, we offer a Sliding Fee Discount Program that can reduce the cost of care. Eligibility for the Sliding Fee Discount Program is based on household size and income. No one is ever denied services because of an inability to pay.
Serving patients who are unable to afford care, providing tools for a healthy life, and ensuring health care access to 1 in 10 Whatcom County friends and neighbors our donors help to make all of this possible!
