Providence Medical Group - Southwest Washington is our growing organization of employed physicians and advanced practice clinicians, with clinics in Thurston and Lewis Counties. We currently employ more than 200 medical providers with a broad range of specialties and a strong base of primary care. The National Committee for Quality Assurance has recognized our primary care clinics as patient-centered medical homes.
Centralia is a semi-rural community located in scenic southwest Washington. The area features a mix of farm- and timberland threaded by a number of revered salmon and steelhead rivers. Centralia and the rest of Lewis County, population 74,000, offer great quality of life for those who appreciate the outdoors as well as easy access to urban culture. We are close to saltwater, freshwater and mountains, but also have two major urban centers within easy driving distance (Portland, Ore., and Seattle). Property with acreage is still relatively affordable in Lewis County, and there is no state income tax in Washington.
