Today, HealthPoint is the health care home for more than 100,000 people in King County, Washington. High quality health care is essential to living well and thriving.

We offer a broad range of services (from primary medical and dental, to behavioral health, to natural medicine and acupuncture, to nutrition, to case management) and specialize in providing expert, innovative, and compassionate care to all who need it. That care is provided by over 150 doctors, dentists and other providers PLUS over 200 medical students and residents, dental residents and externs and more each year.
