Lake Chelan Clinic
Lake Chelan Clinic was founded in 1963 with the mission to provide the highest quality, cost effective and comprehensive health care to the community with genuine respect for individuals and sensitivity toward cultural, social and economic diversity. As a privately held corporation, the clinic is physician owned by 4 board certified family practice physicians. A mid-level provider sees patients on a walk-in basis Monday through Friday. Each physician works a rotating Saturday shift that corresponds to their weekend call for that month. We provide the following services:
