Celebrating 50 Years of ICHS!

In 1973, a small band of Asian American advocates started a free storefront clinic to serve the elderly residents of Seattle's Chinatown-International District. Today, International Community Health Services (ICHS) is a Federally Qualified Health Center embracing and serving all marginalized peoples.

Since the beginning, our mission has been as much about providing high quality medical care as it has been about interrupting the systemic racism that denied health care to many in the community. As we honor our past, we remain committed to providing culturally and linguistically appropriate health and wellness services and advocating for health equity for all.

We look forward to celebrating 50 years with you on November 18th! 

Parking: There is limited street parking - we recommend parking at 520 Pike Tower (520 Pike Street, Seattle, WA, USA). 

520 Pike Tower is located on the left-hand side of Pike St. (a one-way street) between 5th Ave and 6th Ave. Enter the parking lot by driving north on Pike St.

If you have purchased parking with us, your parking is valid for 520 Pike Tower only. Please bring the parking ticket with you to check in, and we can validate it for you at the info table.
