BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – PeaceHealth’s same-day care services in Bellingham will soon be under one roof.

PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center says it’s consolidating its two priority care centers next month.

Starting on Monday, March 2, PeaceHealth’s priority care center on the hospital’s main campus will be merging with the other center at its Cordata Main Clinic.

PeaceHealth says the move will expand capacity at Cordata Main and support stronger collaboration.

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.

Priority care clinics offer support for health concerns that aren’t considered emergencies, but should be attended to within 24 hours of when the injury happened or symptoms were first noticed. Anyone with questions is asked to call 360-788-8180.
