Redefining Health in South King County
The HealthPoint Tukwila Health & Wellness Center will be more than just a medical clinic — it will be a hub for health, opportunity, and community connection in the heart of Tukwila.
True health isn’t just about doctor visits. It’s about addressing social, economic, and cultural barriers to well-being. That’s why after 54 years of providing quality healthcare in standalone clinics, HealthPoint is evolving to deliver care with complementary community services.
Capital Project to Provide Health Beyond Health Care
Phase one of the HealthPoint Tukwila Health & Wellness Center capital project is shovel-ready. We will break ground in the summer of 2025 and open doors on phase one of the project in the fall of 2026.
The first phase will deliver:
-
An expanded HealthPoint clinic that serves as a one-stop-shop for culturally appropriate medical, dental, behavioral health, naturopathic care, substance use treatment, and pharmacy, among other expanded services.
-
HealthPoint’s existing facility in Tukwila serves 4,000 patients each year. The new facility will double that capacity.
-
Onsite, integrated social services, case management, and language access tools.
-
An early childhood development center for birth to pre-K – to be operated by our partner, the YMCA of Greater Seattle – that will fill a critical gap with high-quality, subsidized care in this area designated as a “childcare access desert” by the WA State Department of Children, Youth & Families.
-
Space for future program expansion
The new HealthPoint Tukwila Health & Wellness Center will be centrally located on Tukwila International Boulevard at 146th – it is on three bus routes, less than a mile to light rail, and next to Foster High School and the new Tukwila Village retail center topped by affordable housing for seniors.
About the Tukwila Population We Serve
Tukwila is a vibrant and diverse community located just south of Seattle. The community’s multicultural heritage is reflected in the rich cultural opportunities and the 80+ different languages you might hear on the streets.
Tukwila residents experience significant health and financial disparities when compared to King County. Nearly triple the rate of residents are in ‘fair or poor health’ (30%), with more than double the rate of uninsured residents (17%) and 20% of households receiving food stamps. (Source)
Phase Two of Capital Project to Expand Services
HealthPoint is currently surveying options for the best complementary services and spaces to address community needs during phase 2. Options under consideration include:
-
A community center for education, events, and wellness activities
-
A small business incubator marketplace
-
Flexible space for nonprofit providers and vital local services
