PeaceHealth Lynden clinic anticipated to open April 15

A new healthcare facility in Lynden is anticipated to serve 150 to 200 patients daily, providing specialized care in north Whatcom County.

PeaceHealth expects to open its new primary and specialty care clinic in Lynden on Monday, April 15. The clinic will have primary care that includes family medicine, pediatrics and same-day services, as well as cardiology, orthopedics, behavioral health and OB/GYN/midwifery. On-site imaging and lab services will be available from Mt. Baker Imaging and Quest Diagnostics.

The opening of the clinic, at 8844 Benson Road, will mark the end of years of planning for the clinic after PeaceHealth purchased the land in 2020. 

“We are thrilled to open this beautiful facility, and excited to help meet the healthcare needs of our north Whatcom County communities,” said Denise Walker, vice president of operations for PeaceHealth Medical Group. “We recognize how rapidly the area is growing and we want to ensure the community has access to high-quality primary and specialty care for many years to come.”

The clinic will be able to employ 50 caregivers and providers, which allows serving about 150 to 200 people daily.

The 22,500-square-foot building will be PeaceHealth’s first clinic with a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. As certification requirements, the clinic has solar panels, EV charging stations, native plants and a bioswale stormwater runoff system.

PeaceHealth will hold a community open house that will have tours and refreshments 4:30-6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 16.
