Under the weather? PeaceHealth offers options, including a clinic opening soon.
We hope you're feeling fine this fall, but if you find yourself under the weather, PeaceHealth offers walk-in care in Bellingham and Sedro-Woolley .

If you live in the Fairhaven area, look for our new clinic to open soon at 3125 Old Fairhaven Parkway . You can call 360-752-5628 to become a new patient in the clinic's family medicine practice. Walk-in service will also be available at this location.

Finally, mark your calendar to stop by the grand opening of the Fairhaven Plaza clinic on Wednesday, Dec. 11, 4-6 p.m. The event will feature free kids' vaccinations and activities, flu shots (free with most insurance), the Sehome String Quartet and refreshments.

Come get to know us before you need us.
