ICHS | Welcome

International Community Health Services (ICHS) is the largest Asian and Pacific Islander (API) community health center in Washington state. ICHS has two locations: the Holly Park Medical & Dental Clinic located in south Seattle and the International District Medical & Dental Clinic located in Seattle’s Chinatown/International District.

In order to better serve the needs of our patients, we offer modern facilities, including an on-site laboratory and pharmacy. We have a full range of primary medical, dental, preventive health education services, and Chinese Traditional Medicine. In addition, our friendly multilingual support staff is here to assist you.

The Westin Seattle’s grand ballroom was bursting with the colors of spring for the International Community Health Services’ Bloom ’09 gala this past May 30th. Over 420 supporters attended the colorful celebration to help raise money for ICHS’ services and care for uninsured patients. Together, they raised over $117,000 for ICHS. Click here to read more.

ICHS would like to thank the sponsoring organizations for the event. Visit the ICHS Foundation website for a list of our sponsors.

May 14, 2009 -- The H1N1 virus appears to have the same level of severity as regular seasonal flu. Most people are experiencing this as a mild illness, but some people may have complications. Seattle & King County Public Health continues to recommend that we respond to this outbreak as we would to a regular flu season: stay home when sick, cover coughs and sneezes, and wash hands often. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective if soap and water are not readily available.

Please do not hesitate to call one of our clinics if you have any questions.

In addition, Public Health's Flu Hotline at 877-903-KING (5464) will provide expanded service by offering callers an opportunity to speak with registered nurses, Monday - Friday, 9 am to 5 pm. Hotline nurses will tell callers how to manage their symptoms at home, tell them if they need to see a doctor or health care provider and answer other medical questions about H1N1 flu.
