The four-day volunteer-driven clinic provides free dental, vision, and medical care to anyone in the region who struggles to access and/or afford healthcare.

Largest volunteer-driven health clinic of its kind in WA provides free dental, vision, medical care to anyone who struggles to access and/or afford care for four days each year at Seattle Center. First held in 2014, Seattle/King County Clinic brings together healthcare organizations, civic agencies, non-profits, private businesses, and volunteers from across the State of Washington to produce a giant free health clinic at Seattle Center. In the Clinic’s first six years, 22,000 volunteers provided $20 million in direct services to 23,000 patients. The next Clinic will be held October 20-23, 2022 providing FREE eye exams and prescription eyeglasses to people in need at Seattle Center.

Proud to announce that one of our volunteer Dental Directors, Dr. Ivy Lin, was selected as an American Dental Association 10 Under 10 Award recipient.

All 10 awardees are ADA members who graduated from dental school less than 10 years ago.

Congrats Dr. Lin! Well deserved.
