The Polyclinic, located in Seattle, Washington, is one of the largest multi-specialty clinics in the Puget Sound area,〔http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/print-edition/2012/07/27/polyclinic-breaks-out-of-the-pack-on.html〕 with 14 locations and 200 primary care and specialty physicians in most areas of medicine. On-site services are available at several locations, including laboratory, radiology, mammography, ultrasound, echocardiography, MRI and CT scans. == History == The Polyclinic was established in 1917 by six physicians: Dr. H.J. Davidson, Surgeon; Dr. C.F. Davidson, General Practitioner; Dr. Earl Ristine, Urologist; Dr. Kenneth Holtz, General Practitioner; Dr. C.L. Templeton, OB/Gyn. When its doors opened at the American Bank Building, located on 2nd Avenue in downtown Seattle, The Polyclinic offered primary and specialty care, supported by its own lab, x-ray, and surgery space. After some expanding and an increase in offered care, The Polyclinic and its 11 physicians moved in October 1965 to one of its current locations on First Hill, Seattle at Broadway. In 1965 The Polyclinic opened the Downtown location, featuring Family Medicine, Dermatology, Allergy / Asthma / Clinical Immunology, and Rheumatology. Seattle Primary Physicians joined The Polyclinic in 2007, a change that incorporated six new locations into The Polyclinic.〔http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/2007/02/26/story2.html?page=all〕 At this time, 21 new family practice doctors joined the organization. Around the same time The Polyclinic Northgate location opened, featuring Cardiology, Dermatology, Family Medicine, Gastroenterology, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Nephrology, Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose, and Throat), Plastic Surgery, Pulmonary Disease, Urology, and Cosmetic Surgery. In 2009, The Polyclinic partnered with Swedish Medical Center to implement electronic health records.〔http://www.swedish.org/about/blog/april-2009/swedish-partners-with-the-polyclinic-to-implement〕 In 2012, The Polyclinic Madison Center opened.〔http://www.wahcnews.com/newsletters/wa-ldavid-0612.pdf〕 This location became the main hub for primary and specialty care at The Polyclinic, visible from Interstate 5. At this time, the Broadway building became a satellite location to the Madison Center. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Polyclinic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
