Auburn’s MultiCare Urgent Clinic
“MultiCare is holding discussions with Sea Mar Community Health Centers, a Federally Qualified Health Center related to three of our urgent care sites, including Auburn,” shared MultiCare’s Director of Marketing and Communications, Shari Campbell. “This transaction is not final, and discussions with Sea Mar are continuing.”
Sea Mar Community Health Centers’ mission statement states it is a “community-based organization committed to providing quality, comprehensive health, human, housing, educational and cultural services to diverse communities, specializing in service to Latinos.”
“MultiCare values Sea Mar as a community partner,” continued Campbell. “We believe Sea Mar’s ability to offer additional health and wraparound services would significantly benefit the community served by our site in downtown Auburn. Should an agreement be finalized, MultiCare’s current Auburn Urgent Care would be owned and operated by Sea Mar.”
“Sea Mar is one of western Washington’s largest providers of community-based health and human services,” states the organization’s website. Services provided by Sea Mar include “community and migrant primary medical and dental care, obstetrics and gynecology, minor outpatient surgery, laboratory and radiology services, outpatient and inpatient behavioral health and substance abuse treatment services, social services and case management, maternity support services, migrant and homeless support services, health education and nutrition programs, pharmacy services, community- and facility-based long-term care services, child care, low-income, and migrant farmworker housing, and youth education and leadership programs.”
Campbell shared that MultiCare continually looks for ways to enhance care within communities, and “Sea Mar is an organization that we hold in high regard.”
MultiCare’s established downtown Auburn Urgent Care location (202 Cross St SE, Auburn) remains available to patients. Please confirm current clinic hours, services, and appointment availability before going.
I’m so happy to see more urgent care centers coming to the area. I’ve been living in Denver for a while now and have had to find a different UC provider, but they’ve shown me just how essential a resource these places are.
