Cherry Hill Clinic
The covered entrance shown here is the front door to the Cherry Hill Clinic. The clinic is located on the first floor of the Professional Building at Swedish’s Cherry Hill campus.
Located in Seattle’s historic Black neighborhood in the Central District, Swedish Family Medicine - Cherry Hill Clinic remains a touchstone for families over multiple generations. The clinical site was founded in the 1880s and the residency was founded here in 1974 with a mission of serving historically underserved populations.
The Cherry Hill Clinic’s patient population is the most diverse of our training sites. There are more than 40 languages regularly spoken in our clinic, and after English, the languages most spoken are Spanish, Amharic, Tigrinya, and Oromo. About 32% of our patients self-identify as Black/African American, 34% as White, 17% Latine/a/o, and 12% as Asian. Cherry Hill Clinic is also the primary care home for the Washington Anti-Trafficking Response Network and YouthCare.
Cherry Hill Clinic is part of Swedish Health Services, the largest, most comprehensive healthcare system in the Pacific Northwest. As part of this larger healthcare organization, our patients benefit from increased access to services, imaging, and specialists. We have on-site behavioral health and benefits from the support of multispecialty Swedish Medical Group services like e-consult and pharmacy support. It is on the same campus as the residency administration, and core faculty work as both preceptors and providers at this clinic.
Cherry Hill Clinic accepts four residents in each year of training and serves as the clinic training site for the Rural Training Program interns.

As a resident-driven clinic, the Cherry Hill training site continually evolves to serve the needs of its patients and its surrounding community. Residents have been instrumental in introducing many new and exciting programs to clinic, resulting in learning experiences and leadership opportunities around practice management, quality improvement, and Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles.
As the primary clinic for most of the residency's core faculty, this clinic also highlights many of the special expertise and training of our faculty and has a variety of other services available on site. This reduces barriers and expands access to vulnerable populations, and benefits both patients and resident learners. Some highlights of these services include:
Integrative Medicine clinic
OB Outreach Clinic, serving pregnant women with chemical dependency
Procedure clinic
Colposcopy & LEEP clinic
