About Us
At Confluence Health, we are dedicated to improving our patients’ health by providing safe, high-quality care in a compassionate and cost-effective manner. By investing in technology and resources to stay on the leading edge of healthcare innovation, our communities receive local access to leading medicine.
Confluence Health is an integrated healthcare delivery system that includes two hospitals, more than 30 medical specialties and primary care, to provide comprehensive medical care throughout North Central Washington. With over 300 physicians and 170 advanced practice providers, Confluence Health is the major medical provider between Seattle and Spokane. Our goal is to deliver high-quality, safe, compassionate, and cost-effective care close to home. Staying on the leading edge of healthcare innovation is important, so we invest in technology—to provide better care for our patients and allow our providers to operate at the highest level.
Located in the heart of Washington, we enjoy open skies, snow-capped mountains, and the lakes and rivers of the high desert. We are the proud home of orchards, farms, and small communities. Confluence Health actively supports the communities we serve and their quality of life through our community support program and through our individual efforts as involved community members.
