Simply Caring
Kinwell began with a simple goal of bringing a new standard of primary care to communities across Washington.
We're a startup, determined to change the primary care experience.
More time, less complexity, more comfort, and—perhaps most important—a better relationship with the team you’re trusting with your health. Kinwell is changing the conversation about healthcare to include wellness and prevention. At Kinwell clinics, care is provided by clinicians of Kinwell Medical Group. They are supported by an independent company, Kinwell Physician Network, that provides administrative and business services that allow Kinwell Medical Group to focus on what it does best—taking care of you.
