Medical Provider

The Way Station in downtown Bellingham, WA! Individuals experiencing homelessness are more likely to become ill, have greater hospitalization rates, and die at a younger age than the general population. The Way Station provides individuals and families experiencing homelessness with a range of health and social services to assist in improving their health outcomes and aiding their transition to sustainable housing. This unique facility serves people in need of showers, laundry, restrooms, medical and behavioral health care, case management, and other services provided by partner organizations including respite care. As the sole medical provider, this role works with a Medical Assistant seeing patients on a walk-in basis for a limited scope of services including wound care, treating infections & illnesses, and performing point of care testing. While The Way Station does not serve as a primary care home, it provides a bridge to primary care and assists with connecting clients to a Primary Care Provider. The ideal candidate will have experience providing whole-person, team-based care in an empathy-forward, trauma-informed manner that acknowledges the barriers and inequities experienced by our unhoused patients.
