PeaceHealth is consolidating its two priority care centers in Bellingham, Washington into one unified location at its Cordata Main Clinic. The move aims to expand capacity and support stronger collaboration at the priority care facility, which offers same-day support for non-emergency health concerns.

Why it matters

The consolidation of PeaceHealth's priority care services in Bellingham will make it easier for residents to access timely, non-emergency medical attention without having to go to the hospital's emergency room. This helps alleviate pressure on the ER and provides a more efficient care option for the community.

The details

Starting on March 2, PeaceHealth's priority care center on the hospital's main campus will be merged with the other center at its Cordata Main Clinic. The unified priority care center will be open from 8 am to 8 pm on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends, offering support for health concerns that aren't considered emergencies but should be attended to within 24 hours.

• PeaceHealth's priority care consolidation will take effect on Monday, March 2, 2026.
