Special Features & Unique Opportunities
SRH is located in the Skagit Valley in a small town that isn't considered rural by the federal definition, but it may feel rural to some people. It is a little over an hour north of Seattle on I5 when there's no traffic. Our program is proud to have been a strong Osteopathic FM Program from the beginning. We have retained our strong osteopathic teaching faculty (as well as added more) and our commitment to serving our local community with all its rich diversity and culture.
