Specialty Care Close To Home

Our team makes regular visits to our specialty clinics in Olympia, Puyallup and Silverdale, so that children can get outpatient care closer to home. Our specialists work in partnership with a child’s primary care provider, so specialized pediatric care is available when and where it’s needed most. We believe working hand-in-hand with a child’s local physician ensures the best results for everyone.
