Family Care Network is a team of health care professionals and support personnel located in offices throughout Bellingham, and Whatcom County Washington. We are dedicated to creating and maintaining a caring health service environment for our patients and our greater community.
Our Physicians
All our family physicians are board certified. Today, that means three years of training after graduation from medical school, followed by a nationally standardized examination. In order to maintain specialty certification, it is necessary to take and pass a recertification exam every six years, and pass a practice audit.
Also on our staff are Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNP), and physician assistants (PA).
An ARNP is a registered nurse who has completed further education to be professionally certified and licensed in the state of Washington to practice as a member of our health care team. A PA is an individual who has undergone specific higher education to be professionally certified and licensed in the state of Washington, to practice in partnership with a physician group.
We believe that our doctors ,our nurse practitioners and physcians assistants have unique strengths that they bring to our health care team, and we pledge to work closely together to try and make our care more available and complete.
