In 1924, four private practice doctors joined together to combine their knowledge and resources to help their patients.

These founding fathers of The Everett Clinic were innovators. They acted creatively to improve patient care. Everett was in the midst of a post-World War boom. Jobs were plentiful and lumber was king. When mill workers prospered, the community and its doctors thrived.

The new clinic survived the Great Depression due to its leaders’ foresight. They had contracted with local mills to cover workers’ medical care.

Today, this spirit of innovation and improvement is still very much a part of our culture. We work hard to improve quality and reduce cost. Our priority is to do what’s right for each patient.

Together, we make lives better through health and healing.

The Everett Clinic offers value through service, quality and cost. This helps us work profitably, recruit the best possible talent and successfully compete. And all while offering high-quality health care.

This model of value-added care is built into every part of our business. It’s put us on the map as one of the most innovative and high-quality health care providers in the country.
