HealthPoint and Valley Collaborate to Address Unmet Demand for Care
The new HealthPoint Kent East Hill Clinic is now open and accepting patients, expanding access to essential health care services for families in Kent and the surrounding area.
HealthPoint and Valley Medical Center & Clinics partnered to bring the new clinic to the site of Valley’s former Kent Primary Care Clinic, helping address the growing need for accessible, integrated health care in Kent’s East Hill community.
The Kent East Hill Clinic provides integrated primary care, behavioral health, immunizations, family planning, pregnancy and reproductive health care, and physical and annual exams. Pharmacy and dental services are expected to be available at the clinic in 2027.
Community needs assessments by both organizations, as well as public health data, have consistently identified Kent as one of the areas with significant unmet primary care needs in King County.
Lisa Yohalem, HealthPoint CEO, states, “For many years, HealthPoint has seen growing demand for primary care services in Kent, particularly in the East Hill community, where the need for accessible, integrated care continues to outpace available capacity. Valley’s offer for us to take over this site is the kind of responsive, community-centered collaboration we need to improve health outcomes across our region. We’re excited to build and grow this partnership together to improve access and provide tools that help HealthPoint’s and Valley’s teams improve continuity of care and health outcomes for the people we serve.”
Valley Medical Center & Clinics CEO, Jeannine Erickson Grinnell, adds, “HealthPoint and Valley have been trusted partners serving the Kent community for decades, and we share a deep commitment to community-centered care. We look forward to furthering our mutual mission of improving the health of the communities we serve by expanding healthcare access in Kent, within the heart of our hospital district.”
“Access to quality healthcare is essential to a strong community”, says Kent Mayor, Dana Ralph. “Every family in Kent deserves the opportunity to receive the care they need close to home, and expanding access to these services is an important investment in the health and well-being of our residents. I’m excited to see more healthcare options available in our community and the positive difference they will make for the people who call Kent home.”
