"We are proud that the new hybrid ER and urgent care facility ensures that we are keeping our promise to the community to maintain urgent care services locally in Bremerton. This facility is complemented by the VMFH Family Medicine Clinic next door, which offers comprehensive preventative medical care services and St. Michael Medical Center in Silverdale, which is the regional hub for quality health care for the Kitsap Peninsula. The hospital provides comprehensive acute care including a Level III Trauma Center, specialty care and primary care to Kitsap residents close to home," said Chad Melton, president of St. Michael Medical Center.
VMFH, in collaboration with Intuitive Health leaders, is working to identify locations for other hybrid ER/urgent care centers that will best meet the needs of the Puget Sound region.
