Virtual Care

Convenient care from anywhere in Washington, on your computer or smart device.

Virtual care statewide

Kinwell’s Virtual Care Clinic brings primary care to your computer or smart device. Virtual care provides additional appointment option for acute conditions. You can meet with the same clinician you see in person, or establish care with our online clinician, Dr. Jlyn Pritchard.

Virtual care is a great option for busy patients who prefer the ease of online consultations, or who live far from our 16 clinics. Our clinicians can handle many situations online that will save you a trip to the ER or urgent care. A virtual care visit may determine an in-person diagnostic exam is necessary and you will need to visit a clinic if lab work is required.

  • Asthma and allergies
  • Respiratory illnesses
  • Ear infections
  • Return to work or school permissions
  • Sexual health
  • Skin rashes and bites
  • Gastrointestinal discomfort
  • Muscle and joint pain
  • Weight management

  • Family Medical Leave Act paperwork
