Washington’s tribal government leaders are building a better future for all of us by investing in public safety, education, and jobs.

Healthcare

Caring for all members of the community, young and old, sick and well, is a high priority for Washington tribes. Tribes are building health clinics and supporting wellness activities.

For more information on tribal investments, please visit our Resources page.

  • The Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe operates the Jamestown Family Health Clinic in Sequim, which employs 65 people, to provide primary health care services to Tribal citizens and non tribal community members seeking quality care.
  • The Kalispel Tribe of Indians' Camas Center for Community Wellness is operated by the Kalispel Tribal Government and is a comprehensive health care clinic for the tribe's members and the local community.
  • The Puyallup Tribal Health Authority operates the Kwawachee Counseling Center which provides a safe place for clients during times of turmoil, crisis, or illness.
