Directory-listed Columbia Valley Community Health says patients of all ages can walk in or schedule online for non-emergency Express Care at 600 Orondo Ave. in Wenatchee and 900 Eastmont Ave. in East Wenatchee; patients need not already use CVCH. Appointment slots are posted 48 hours ahead, and the page directs people with no online slot to walk in or call 509-662-6000.

It separately routes after-hours callers to an answering service through the same number. This is a standing access pathway observed July 16, not a documented launch or expansion.

The page does not publish clinic hours or guarantee a slot, treatment, an immediate after-hours clinical response, coordination completion, or report visits, staffing or FTE, patient capacity, wait times, costs, utilization or outcomes.

Directory-listed Community Health Association of Spokane, operating as CHAS Health, says its North Spokane and Spokane Valley urgent-care clinics provide same-day walk-in care for non-life-threatening needs to CHAS and non-CHAS patients. Both post 8 a.m.–8 p.m. Monday–Friday and 8 a.m.–5 p.m. weekends, with 9 a.m. openings on the third and last Wednesday for staff continuing education and separate holiday exceptions.

Last check-in is one hour before closing or earlier when the schedule fills. The page also lists on-site pharmacy and x-ray. This is a standing access schedule observed July 16, not a documented launch or expansion.

It does not guarantee treatment or appointment availability, substantiate marketed emergency-room savings or cost comparisons, or report visits, staffing or FTE, patient capacity, actual waits, costs, avoided emergency use or outcomes.

HealthPoint's July 13, 2026 announcement says it and Valley Medical Center & Clinics are collaborating to open a new Kent East Hill Clinic at Valley's former Kent Primary Care Clinic in early fall 2026. Planned opening services are integrated primary care, pregnancy and reproductive care, and behavioral health; pharmacy and dental services are expected in 2027.

HealthPoint says community assessments identify Kent as one of King County's areas with the greatest unmet primary-care need and says appointment details will come later. This is an announced schedule and service plan—not an opened clinic, a guaranteed opening date or 2027 rollout, staffed capacity, provider or FTE count, appointment volume, project cost, funding award, patient volume, utilization or outcomes.

Directory-listed Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic reports in its July 2, 2026 Northwest Dental Residency graduation feature that five residents received hands-on clinical training over the prior year. The program is described as a bridge from dental school to independent practice, with comprehensive treatment planning and exposure ranging from routine exams to dental emergencies and root canals.

This is a realized training-cohort record, not proof of five hires or five added clinical FTEs. The page says only that some graduates stay with Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic while others go to rural or underserved communities; it does not quantify retention or placement.

It also does not report individual certificate or licensure status, employment dates, practice locations, FTE, patients, encounters, procedures, appointment capacity, board results or patient outcomes, and its increased-access statement is qualitative rather than a measured result.

Yakima Neighborhood Health Services' transition notice says InteliChart would be unavailable after May 3 while YNHS updated its electronic health record, with the system change beginning May 4 and MyChart scheduled to become available May 5. It says patients would receive activation codes by email or text and lists viewing health information, messaging care teams, checking appointments and managing care.

YNHS advised early prescription refills and scheduling appointments before May 3 to reduce delay risk. This documents the announced cutover schedule and patient instructions—not confirmed migration completion for every record or account, uninterrupted availability, interoperability, adoption, utilization, cost, staffing, wait-time change or outcomes.

Directory-listed Unity Care Northwest, branded Unity Care NW, reported on May 4, 2026 that its pharmacy served more than 7,800 patients in the prior year and that nearly 1,000 of them struggled to afford medications because of deductibles, copayments, or lack of insurance. Unity Care NW describes Extend-A-Hand as a community-supported safety net used after other options are exhausted for patients unable to afford prescriptions, between insurance coverage, or needing a one-time prescription their plan will not cover.

This is an operator-reported prior-year pharmacy baseline and program description—not proof that all of the nearly 1,000 patients received Extend-A-Hand assistance, filled a prescription, or received free medication. The publication date does not convert the prior-year count into 2026 activity.

The source does not give a precise measurement window, an exact affordability-barrier count, assistance recipients, prescriptions, dollars, eligibility thresholds, current fund balance, duration of support, avoided emergency visits, adherence, or health outcomes; its two patient examples are anecdotes rather than cohort results.

Gov. Bob Ferguson signed Washington's 2026 supplemental budgets on April 1, 2026. The governor's official summary identifies $55 million in the operating budget for Cascade Care premium assistance for low-income individuals.

That enacted appropriation is a concrete marketplace-affordability input. The linked summary does not support the prior claim's additional $19.8 million, 1,200-person, $15 million, or omitted-340B-proposal assertions, so those figures are not carried forward here.

Health centers should distinguish the signed $55 million appropriation from separate proposals and advocacy estimates.

Directory-listed New Health Programs Association, operating as NEW Health, announced on February 20, 2026 that it had purchased land on the south end of Chewelah for a purpose-designed health campus. NEW Health says its existing Main Street and Clay Avenue campus supports 77 clinical and administrative employees and offers medical and pharmacy services onsite plus behavioral health virtually; the planned campus would add dental and in-person behavioral health while expanding medical and pharmacy offerings.

Phase one is expected to be completed in summer 2027, and the project is supported in part by state and federal grant funding whose amounts are not stated. This is a phased construction and service plan—not an open campus, a construction-start confirmation, or a guaranteed completion or service date.

The 77 employees are the existing campus baseline, not announced new, transferred, retained, or funded positions. The source does not report total cost, grant amounts, facility size, design, construction partners, staffing or FTE plans, hiring, appointment capacity, patients, visits, utilization, or outcomes.

Directory-listed Moses Lake Community Health Center's January 5, 2026 announcement, published on a page authored January 21, says it received a Paul Lauzier Charitable Foundation grant to support women's health in Grant County. The center says the funding allowed it to purchase new colposcopy equipment for its medical clinics in Moses Lake and Quincy, and the page caption identifies clinicians displaying the new equipment.

This supports a received grant and equipment acquisition for two named clinics—not a disclosed award amount, a count of devices, confirmation that equipment was installed or available for scheduling on the announcement date, or completed screenings. The source does not report grant terms, purchase cost, operating or maintenance funding, training, staffing or FTE, appointment capacity, patients reached, procedures, utilization, detection rates, referrals, or clinical outcomes.

Its separate statement that the organization serves more than 32,000 community members annually is an organization-wide figure and must not be treated as the equipment's reach.

Sea Mar Community Health Centers reports that in October 2025 its nurse-practitioner residency began accepting physician assistants or associates and officially changed its name to the Advanced Practice Provider Residency. The current first-party page documents a realized 12-month training model with continuity clinic, supervised and progressively independent patient care, specialty rotations, joint behavioral-health and substance-use-disorder didactics, and a community or quality-improvement project; it also names residents who began in October 2025.

This is a realized program-scope and training-cohort record, not evidence that an individual PA enrolled or that the change produced net new staffing. The source supplies only the month, so October 1 is a schema-normalized month marker, not a documented start day.

It does not report the number of PA residents accepted, a reliable total for the 2025 cohort, completion, placement, retention, added clinical FTE, patient encounters or capacity, or outcomes. A Vancouver cohort planned for October 2026 remains future and is excluded.

Directory-listed Neighborcare Health’s current school-based health page says all of its school health centers opened to in-person student care as of September 3, 2025. Medical, dental and mental-health services are available by appointment at the health center or by phone, at no cost regardless of insurance to all Seattle Public Schools students and to students in public and private schools on Vashon.

The page lists 13 service categories, from vaccinations, counseling and acute care to dental care, crisis intervention, enrollment help and assistance finding a primary-care home. This is a realized school-year access baseline, not proof that all 13 services operate at every site: Neighborcare expressly tells families to check their local center for availability.

The page does not state the number of school health centers; its separate ‘nearly 30’ figure covers all neighborhood medical, dental and school-based clinics combined. It does not report students served, appointments, visits, staffing or FTE, hours, wait times, utilization, avoided absences or health and education outcomes.
