Battle Ground HealthCare

Battle Ground HealthCare (BGHC) is a nonprofit, community-supported clinic that provides compassionate, high quality, free healthcare to underserved adults in SW Washington. Our comprehensive services include acute and preventative medical and dental care, and management of patients’ chronic healthcare needs.

Founded in 2011, BGHC has grown rapidly in recent years and currently has an annual operating budget of close to $1 million. In 2021 we purchased a state-of-the art clinic, which has enabled us to increase patient visits to more than 2,600 annually – with space available for further growth. The clinic’s seven staff are supported by 180+ volunteers, with licensed medical and dental providers, among other professionals. Our service model includes student interns in healthcare programs at local colleges and universities. In addition, we are proud of BGHC’s strong relationships with partner organizations that help further our efforts to serve patients.

BGHC’s diverse patient population includes adults who are uninsured or underinsured and face complex health challenges. Our team’s efforts have improved the lives and health outcomes of this vulnerable population while reducing emergency room visits in our region.
