The Everett Clinic expands into Edmonds with new surgery center

EDMONDS — The Everett Clinic plans to open an outpatient surgery center and urgent care walk-in clinic in Edmonds on Jan. 16.

The $10 million center will be located at 21401 72nd Ave. W. near Swedish Edmonds Hospital off Highway 99. The 31,507-square-foot clinic will have three operating rooms.

It’s the latest expansion for The Everett clinic, which opened a 40,000-square-foot clinic in Shoreline in September and a 6,400-foot-clinic in Mill Creek in December.

“The surgery and specialty center in Edmonds is a wonderful complement to our enhanced primary care clinic that recently opened in Shoreline,” said Chris Knapp, chief executive officer of the Everett Clinic, in a statement. “We’re excited to bring The Everett Clinic’s brand of integrated, convenient and patient-centered care to the south Snohomish County community.”

Expansion was a key goal when the physician-owned clinic merged last year with Denver, Colorado-based DaVita Healthcare, a Fortune 500 company that operates 2,000 outpatient kidney dialysis centers nationally.

In March, a number of medical specialists will join the Edmonds clinic, including orthopedics, ear nose and throat, hand surgery, physiatry, general surgery and advanced imaging through mammography, CT and MRI.

Dr. Scott Schaaf, an orthopedic surgeon and member of The Everett Clinic’s leadership team, will act as the Edmonds surgery center’s medical director.

“We are proud to bring state-of-the-art surgical services to Edmonds,” Schaaf said in the release. “We are dedicated to putting the patient first with regard to how we approach care and efficiency in this new facility.”

The surgery center will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The walk-in clinic will be open from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

In March, patients can call 425-304-1101 to make appointments for specialty care. For more information go to www.everettclinic.com/edmonds.
