The unique International Medicine Clinic at Harborview offers high-quality primary and mental healthcare services to adult refugees and immigrants ages 16 and older. The full services of UW Medicine are available for other specialty care needs or hospitalization.

We also offer a Community House Calls program to visit patients at home and make follow-up visits.

We know getting the right care can be confusing, so our patient care coordinators help patients with a variety of issues related to care such as health insurance, making appointments and contacting other agencies.

Our staff speaks a number of additional languages, including Amharic, Cantonese, Chao Jo, Mandarin, Hmong, Khmer, Laotian, Mien, Oromo, Somali, Tigrinya and Vietnamese. Interpreter services are available.

The care team accepts most major insurance plans. Make your appointment today.

Why We Charge for Parking

The Washington State Legislature and King County mandates that parking at Harborview be self-supporting. As a King County-owned, state-managed institution, all garages and parking lots on our campus are paid for out of parking revenues. Harborview parking revenues must pay for all repairs, bonds and loans on all parking facilities. Parking revenues are also used to subsidize various Harborview commuter programs and the valet service. According to the state legislature, parking revenues must pay for all these expenses and may not come from other sources.
