About Us — SOS Health Services

Our Mission

To provide quality health care to the uninsured and underinsured of the Walla Walla Valley.

• Spiritual well-being as an integral part of health

• Compassionate professionalism

• Building community through cooperation

Our Vision

To provide quality medical service to those who cannot afford to pay standard medical fees and thus provide a safety net for those who are in greatest need of primary health care.

Our History

SOS Health Services of Walla Walla was founded in 2000 by a service-minded physician who recognized a need for health care for the uninsured in the valley. Since the beginning, SOS Health Services has been a faith-based, non-denominational clinic providing compassionate urgent-care services to people from in Southeastern Washington and Northeastern Oregon.

SOS Health Services serves hundreds of patients each quarter and the numbers are only growing. With all of our many wonderful volunteer physicians, nurses, students, phlebotomists, and our transcriptionist, we are able to continue our care and service to our community. Together with SonBridge Community Center, Walla Walla General Hospital, Providence St. Mary Medical Center, and other amazing donors, our services are the beautiful results of care pouring in from a number of different people and organizations.

In addition to benefiting those with little to no insurance, SOS Health Services is a crucial part of the community healthcare safety net. By providing a place for the underinsured and uninsured to go, valuable emergency room and hospital resources are conserved. With increasing awareness and support of our clinic, we have become an integral element of our community’s health.
