Mount Vernon Family Health
Mount Vernon Family Health (formerly Skagit Family Health Clinic) is now part of Family Care Network, a locally owned and operated group of clinics. We are passionate about optimum health and wellness for our community. We work with our patients and our team to build strong relationships, creating a rewarding and positive healthcare experience. Although our name has changed, we will continue to provide the trusted, comprehensive care our community has come to know and love since we were founded in 2001.
Located near downtown Mount Vernon, we provide primary care for adults, teens, children and babies. Our providers diagnose and treat all areas of general health care including pediatric and adolescent health, women’s health and gynecology, men’s health, aging issues, and acute and chronic illnesses. We also have a provider trained in naturopathic medicine. Naturopathic physicians (NDs) are licensed as primary health care providers in Washington state and offer a full range of primary health care services.
The entire team at Mount Vernon Family Health is committed to providing high quality, individualized care to each of our patients. We look forward to working with you!
