Community Health of Central Washington

Our Mission:

Community Health of Central Washington provides access

to quality healthcare through service and education.

Community Health of Central Washington was founded with one bold and clear vision: All people in our region should enjoy access to affordable and appropriate health care.

That sounds simple enough. But providing quality health care service is complex. That vision has caused us to grow, and to provide a wide array of services in multiple sites.

Primary Care

Today, CHCW is the medical home for more than 30,000 people in central Washington. We provide comprehensive care for all ages, regardless of the ability to pay. Our patients receive preventive services, care for acute and chronic illness, and care in our clinics, hospitals and other sites. We provide prenatal and obstetric services in Yakima and Kittitas Counties.

Teaching

Education has always been an important part of our mission. Our family medicine residency has operated since 1993, and is responsible for graduating nearly 30 family doctors who practice in our area and have helped to ease the primary care shortage. We also participate in training many other health care professions.

Pharmacy Services

Our patients have access to our full service pharmacies in Yakima and Ellensburg.

Pediatric Hospital Services

We provide special service for children hospitalized in Yakima.

Oral Health

Our newest service, Ellensburg Dental Care, is helping to meet the needs of all ages for affordable care in Kittitas County.

We pride ourselves on our ability to work with our communities, to understand their needs, and to work with others to develop innovative solutions to those problems.

Sincerely,

Michael Maples, MD
