Located halfway between the metropolitan areas of Seattle and Spokane, Okanogan County encompasses nearly 5,300 square miles of pristine, natural beauty.

HistoryFamily Health Centers was incorporated in 1985 and is now the primary healthcare system devoted to Okanogan County.
The clinic grew from its humble beginnings treating farm workers in the orchards with one doctor and support staff, to six medical sites in Omak, Brewster, Bridgeport, Tonasket and Twisp and four dental sites in Okanogan, Brewster, Bridgeport and Oroville that together serve the entire county. Today, FHC is a comprehensive health care system offering primary medical and dental care, orthodontic care, pharmacy, WIC, and integrated behavioral health and other services to 40% of the county’s population. Responding to patient interests, FHC has added Naturopath physicians, broadening our clinical expertise for Whole Person Care. |
