Clinic:<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Initially founded in 1979 by Dr. Stan Garlick, M.D., North Olympic Healthcare Network is the oldest locally owned and operated primary care clinic in Port Angeles. The clinic relocated to newly renovated facilities just two blocks from the waterfront. Awards for this clinic include the National Rural Health Quality Achievement Award in 2009 and for several years running, the recipient of the Health Care Quality Leader Award by Premera Blue Cross.<\/p>\n

In 2015 Family Medicine of Port Angeles transitioned from being a private practice to a Community Health Center, also called a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). \u00a0The name was changed at that time to North Olympic Healthcare Network (NOHN).<\/p>\n

NOHN, in conjunction with Swedish Cherry Hill Family Medicine Residency, is starting a Rural Training Track (RTT) for residents in Family Medicine. \u00a0Residents will spend their first year at Swedish Hospital and Cherry Hill Family Medicine Residency in Seattle. \u00a0During their second and third years of residency, they will be at NOHN and Olympic Medical Center.<\/p>\n
