Chelan:
Chelan, WA is an agricultural and tourism based town pushed into the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains, 180 miles east of Seattle. The year round population is about 4,000 but it increases to 15,000-20,000 in the summer months with visitors enjoying our 55-mile long glacier-fed lake. It is packed with local culture and ample outdoor activities year round.
The medical community includes family physicians with active admitting privileges divided between two practices (Columbia Valley Community Health [CVCH] and Lake Chelan Clinic [LCC]), and a 25 bed critical access hospital (LCCH). LCCH also employs a general surgeon, orthopedic surgeon, and ENT. The closest medical referral site is forty miles south of Chelan in Wenatchee, where there is a large poly-specialty medical group and regional hospital (Confluence Health).
