Who We Are

Confluence Health is an integrated healthcare delivery system that serves as the major medical provider in North Central Washington between Seattle and Spokane. With approximately 300 physicians, 170 advanced practice providers, 30 medical specialties, two hospital campuses, and primary care services, Confluence Health provides high-quality, compassionate, cost-effective care close to home. Staying on the leading edge of healthcare innovation is important, so we invest in technology and resources to provide better care for our patients and to 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 through our community support program and through our individual efforts as involved community members.

Affiliations*

Confluence Health values the partnerships we build with other organizations and programs. We have the honor of affiliating with the University of Washington.

WWAMI is a partnership between the University of Washington School of Medicine and the states of Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho (the first letter of each state forms the acronym "WWAMI"). This partnership provides publicly supported medical education to students from this five-state region.

Confluence Health has an affiliation with University of Washington / Harborview Medical Center to provide for expert stroke consultation services and neurosurgical coverage. This partnership allows for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of all types of strokes, and it also provides immediate transport to a level-1 comprehensive stroke center while allowing the majority of North Central Washington patients to remain at our local, level-2 primary stroke center.

The WRITE Program is a clinical medical education program developed by the University of Washington School of Medicine to help meet the need for rural primary care physicians in the WWAMI region (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). The Moses Lake Campus of Confluence Health is one of the training campuses for the WRITE Program. This opportunity provides selected third-year medical students an appropriate mix of ambulatory and hospital experience during a 20-week clinical education experience at a rural primary care teaching site.

*Although Confluence Health has partnered with WWAMI and the University of Washington/Harborview Medical Center on these programs for collaboration and support, Confluence Health does not conduct any business in King County.
