Health officials in Bellingham say the move is meant to keep pace with a fast-growing population and rising demand for local care.
"It's a big step forward for Bellingham, and it wouldn't have happened without a lot of people pulling in the same direction," said Andrew Torres, clinic director.
The expansion is expected to add roughly 37 new positions, including clinical and support staff, and comes as regional population growth pushes demand for care to record levels.
"It took teamwork, but we got there." — Andrew Torres
Patients are encouraged to check with their provider directly for scheduling as the new services come online.
