Family Care Network
Family Care Network

At Family Care Network, we practice family medicine.  This means that it is our goal to know you as a person, in the context of your life and family, and to build a relationship over time that helps us to provide excellent and personal medical care. The heart of this relationship is the doctor-patient relationship that forms between you and your physician.  We are a team of health care professionals and support personnel, who are located in family medical offices throughout Bellingham, and Whatcom County Washington.

PeaceHealth Medical Group

PeaceHealth Medical Group
(Formerly Madrona Medical)

August 2008: The caregivers at the former St. Joseph Medical Group and the former Madrona Medical Group are now serving you as PeaceHealth Medical Group.  The physicians and staff of PeaceHealth Medical Group are the same dedicated caregivers as before, in the same locations and with the same phone numbers.

PeaceHealth Medical Group is part of the not-for-profit PeaceHealth family of healthcare services, with growing physician clinics in southern Washington, Oregon and Alaska.  Madrona Medical Group was formed in 1995 from existing, independent groups of physicians practicing in Whatcom County, in part as a response to a rapidly changing health care delivery system.

The formation of an integrated medical group allowed us to keep the patient physician relationship as the focus of modern health care. We continue to strive in providing cost-efficient, seamless, and effective health care to the citizens of Whatcom County.
