Everett Clinic chief operating officer, Dr. Jeff Bissey contributed to the Herald's feature on the Clinic's South County growth. 

“We felt we needed over the next five years to at least double in size and at least have a market presence in north King County on both sides of the north end of Lake Washington,” said Jeff Bissey, The Everett Clinic's chief operating officer."

“We recognize there are a lot of health-care organizations in the Puget Sound region,” Bissey said. “But there is a lot of demand and there are a lot of areas where access to excellent primary care and excellent specialty care is really challenging. Our goal is to try meet that need.”

The Shoreline Clinic will open at 1201 N. 175th St., across from Shoreline City Hall in Fall 2016. The services planned there include a walk-in clinic, family medicine, pediatric, and internal medicine as well as behavioral health, and specialists in allergy, dermatology, optometry, physical therapy, podiatry, pulmonary issues, occupational medicine and obstetrics and gynecology.
