History of Excellence

The Everett Clinic Founding Fathers and families at Everett campus groundbreaking.Doing What is Right for Each Patient

In 1924, four private practice physicians joined together to combine their knowledge and resources to benefit their patients. These founding fathers of The Everett Clinic were innovators, acting creatively to improve patient care. Everett was in the midst of a post-World War I boom. Jobs were plentiful and lumber was king. When mill workers prospered the community and its physicians also thrived. The new clinic survived the Great Depression due to foresight in contracting with local mills to cover workers’ medical care.

Today, we see this spirit of innovation and continuous improvement is still very much a part of our culture at The Everett Clinic. We are working to improve quality and make healthcare more affordable. Our priority is to do what is right for each patient. Our focus on prevention—disease management, standardized work and seeing patients when they want to be seen—all combine to improve patient care while also reducing cost.

Together, we make lives better through health and healing.

Providing value—service, quality, and cost—allows us to operate profitably, recruit the best possible talent and successfully compete, all while providing high-quality healthcare. This model of value-added care, incorporated into every aspect of our business, has put The Everett Clinic on the map as one of the most innovative and high-quality healthcare providers in the country.
