Community Health Center of Snohomish County (CHC)

Located in Edmonds, WA, CHC offers affordable primary healthcare services including medical, medical walk-in, dental, physical therapy, and pharmacy services. The organization welcomes patients with Washington Apple Health, Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare, private insurance, and those who are uninsured, offering a sliding fee discount based on household income and family size. CHC is a federal grant recipient deemed under the Federal Torts Claim Act (FTCA). For nursing professionals, the RN role at CHC is positioned in an ambulatory care setting rather than an acute care hospital environment. Nurses work collaboratively with healthcare providers and clinic support staff to deliver outpatient care, with a focus on managing chronic conditions, providing patient-centered education, and administering treatments in a clinic-based, non-acute environment. The care model emphasizes coordinated, team-based care to support positive health outcomes. This is an outpatient primary care setting suited to nurses who value longitudinal patient relationships and chronic disease management over episodic acute care.
