JUNIOR ACCOUNTANT jobs in Everett, WA

Western Washington Medical Group is a collection of primary and multi-specialty healthcare clinics in the greater Snohomish County region with more than 100 providers (and growing)! Our vision is to provide the best experience for patients and providers while serving market needs.

The doctors who founded Western Washington Medical Group in Everett in the early 1990s had a shared goal: to give their patients the best possible care. They also had a shared vision: that local, independent providers are best qualified to give their communities the highest quality healthcare.

Since those days, much has changed in our group. It has grown to more than 25 clinics in Snohomish, Skagit and Island counties, with more than 100 providers in over 20 specialties. Our founding goal and our founding mission still guides us today.

Through three decades of serving the North Puget Sound region, we have proudly remained provider-owned and provider-run. Because we are independent, our care decisions are not limited by corporate managers or corporate systems. And that means that our providers and our patients are free to make the best informed choices together. The result is personalized state-of-the-art care, and that remains our shared goal, as we continue to follow our founding vision into our fourth decade of serving our North Puget Sound communities.
