Moses Lake Community Health Center (MLCHC) is a non-profit, community-driven, and patient-centered health care organization. We are committed to providing high-quality, compassionate, and comprehensive primary health care services for the entire family, with a special focus on the underserved and migrant farm-workers in our community. Medical and dental care centers are located in Moses Lake and Quincy, and a dental center is located in Ephrata.Founded in 1978 as a satellite dental clinic of the North Central Washington Migrant Health Project in Wenatchee, MLCHC expanded in 1979 to include medical care to a primarily indigent and migrant population. The initial staff consisted of one physician, one physician's assistant, and two dentists. With the addition of a second physician in 1981, the clinic was able to provide obstetrics and in-patient medical care and took the first step toward becoming a comprehensive primary care center.This year, 2022 we staff over 300 full-time staff members providing primary care, preventive, and wraparound services to a wide demographic of patients in the area. MLCHC assures patient care is culturally appropriate, in part by employing bi-lingual staff.
