Providence Everett Healthcare Clinic Expansion Increases Access to Mental Health Services

Everett – Providence Everett Healthcare Clinic can now serve nearly triple the number of mental health patients due to today’s completion of its 1,200-ft. expansion at 1001 North Broadway.  This expansion will provide the needed space for adult and pediatric mental health appointments plus more capacity for primary care patients. This expansion focuses on a new maternal mental health program that provides support and counseling for parents and their children.

The low-cost Clinic is staffed by mid-level providers and psychiatric nurse practitioners and serves as a training site for mid-level practitioners through the University of Washington School of Nursing. 

Garnering over $803,000 in community support, this expansion and addition of services has been funded by generous donations from:

• The EverTrust Foundation
• United Way of Snohomish County
• Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound
• The Everett Clinic Foundation
• Providence General Children’s Association
• Frontier Bank
• Butler Trust
• Individual and Family Gifts

In addition to primary care and mental health services, Providence Everett Healthcare Clinic also offers dental services to its existing patients.  These services are provided by a mobile dental unit that visits the Clinic twice a month.
