In 2019, Premera partnered with Vera Whole Health to open the first of its kind Vivacity Care Clinic (VCC) in Spokane. The collaboration brought much needed access to primary care for Premera members in the Spokane region. There are now four Vivacity
Care Clinics throughout the area. Earlier this year, Premera announced our collaboration with Kinwell Medical Group to expand access to primary care across all of Washington. There are currently seven Kinwell clinics actively seeing patients with
more opening later this year.
Premera is unifying the primary care experience across Washington state with the roll out of Kinwell clinics in Eastern, Central, and Western Washington. In mid-September, we are rebranding Vivacity Care Centers (VCC) in Spokane as Kinwell
to align patient experience. Here are a few things to know:
- All clinics will be accessible via www.kinwellhealth.com and by searching Spokane clinic locations in early/mid-September. Note: clinics are being rebranded with staggered openings. The website
will display “Coming Soon” until that clinic’s go live date. The toll-free number to reach Kinwell clinics statewide will remain 833-411-KINW (5469)
- Kinwell clinics offer in-person and telehealth visits, online appointment scheduling, and reduced wait times. Expanded primary care services will treat everyday ailments like a sprained wrist or upset stomach, as well as manage chronic conditions
such as diabetes and depression. Kinwell patients will have free access to the Kinwell MyChart app where they can make appointments, manage billing, and contact their healthcare team.
- VCC will further unify Kinwell operations by using MyChart for online scheduling and electronic medical records.
