Comprehensive Healthcare

Our mission is simple: to provide innovative integrated healthcare, community education and services to individuals, families and organizations.

In practice, this means we're working to make our communities better, improving the lives of individuals and families, and doing everything we can to reduce the stigma surrounding behavioral health issues.

Comprehensive Healthcare provides evidence-based services covering the full spectrum of behavioral healthcare, with an emphasis on community-based treatment and integrated care. This includes community education programs, victim advocacy, crisis services, residential units, and more. We treat clients of all ages through both general and specialty programs to address the specific needs of each population served.

Inpatient & outpatient treatment for mental health disorders, substance use disorders, & dual diagnoses
Medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorders
24-hour crisis response services
Evaluation & treatment facilities for youth and adults
Sub-acute detox and crisis triage center

Our clinics in Washington span eight communities in the Yakima Valley and beyond. We're headquartered in Yakima, but we also have clinics in Sunnyside, Ellensburg, Pasco, Walla Walla, Goldendale, White Salmon, and Cle Elum.

Comprehensive Healthcare provides services in eleven counties across Central Washington, stretching as far north as Moses Lake and as far south as the border with Oregon. While this area is mostly known as a rural agricultural region, its lively small cities and unique geology make it an excellent place to live and recreate.

Because of the rain shadow effect from the Cascade Mountains, most locations in Central Washington have a mild, arid climate and enjoy an average of 300 days of sunshine per year. We tend to have cool winters with little snow and warm, dry summers. Most of our communities are surrounded by rolling hills or ridgelines and have excellent views of the neighboring mountains.

All of this makes Central Washington the perfect place for outdoor recreation. Whether for fishing, hiking, kayaking, camping, skiing, ATVing, or rock climbing, this region boasts quick access to outstanding recreation sites. Vast areas of national forest, federal public lands, state parks, and multiple national parks and monuments are all within a short drive, making Central Washington an exceptional place for outdoor enthusiasts.

As an agricultural region, Central Washington produces a huge proportion of our nation’s apples, cherries, pears, wine grapes, and hops. The Yakima Valley is becoming increasingly well-known as a hub for the craft beer and wine industry and attracts tourists from across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Since our communities are smaller, the cost of living tends to be much more affordable than in larger metro areas. We have a variety of options for housing, plus short commute times and free, on-site employee parking at all of our clinics. Because of our central location, all the amenities of the major metropolitan areas of Seattle, Portland, and Spokane are just a short trip away.

We’re looking for a special kind of person to join the Comprehensive Healthcare team. Our work is about helping others, improving lives, and making a difference in the communities we serve. Our employees are creative, compassionate individuals who enjoy being challenged and continually strive for excellence.

We seek individuals from a variety of backgrounds for our diverse employment opportunities, from clinical and medical providers to finance specialists to technology experts and beyond. Regardless of the role, we offer abundant opportunities for both personal and professional growth.

Since our founding in the 1970s, Comprehensive Healthcare has been a leading mental health provider in Washington. With our staff of nearly 700 professionals, we now have programs in 11 counties and treat more than 20,000 individuals each year. As we’ve grown in both geographic area and breadth of programs, we have maintained our reputation for excellence.

We are an innovative, mission-driven agency and continually seek to improve the services we provide and to offer new programs that meet the needs of our communities. Comprehensive enjoys close partnerships with major research universities, the state, and other community providers to implement unique and cutting-edge treatment programs. To ensure that our clients receive the highest-quality treatment available, we utilize only evidence-based programs and have frequent quality assurance and fidelity consultations.

At Comprehensive, we know that the right opportunities help employees flourish. We offer a wide range of career paths with options for mobility and advancement within the agency, giving staff a chance to find their best fit. All employees receive regular job-related training and clinical staff members have the opportunity to receive on-site continuing education as required for maintaining licensure. In addition, we encourage and support our clinicians in earning independent licensure by offering regular clinical supervision with licensed team leaders or program directors. We encourage staff to pursue further education or practice in order to earn advanced credentials whenever possible.

The best work environment is one in which every person shares the same chance for success, which is why we’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. Our workplace is free from discrimination based on race, creed, color, national origin, sex, marital status, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran or military status, or any other basis prohibited by federal, state or local law. We value the diverse perspectives and strengths that our employees bring to the workplace and we encourage individuals from underrepresented groups to apply for our positions. The Human Resources department offers accommodations and assistance for the application and interview process; please reach out via email at HR@comphc.org or by phone at (509) 575-4084 to make arrangements.

The Hiring Process

Comprehensive Healthcare offers an online employment application system to streamline the job search and application process. This system allows applicants to conduct job searches, request to receive email alerts about future openings, create an application profile, apply for employment, receive updates about current positions and share information about a job with a friend or social media networks.

The Human Resources department reviews every single application that we receive. Due to the large volume of applications we receive, unfortunately we are not able to personally contact every applicant. The candidates whose qualifications best meet our needs for a particular position will be contacted by a member of our HR team to arrange an interview. If a particular candidate is interested in and qualified for multiple open positions, we will gladly consider that candidate for multiple roles--no additional application required.

After a successful interview period, which sometimes might include more than one interview depending on the position, Human Resources staff will conduct a background check and collect references on the leading candidate. Once this step is completed with satisfactory results, an offer of employment may be made.

Comprehensive Healthcare is a drug-free workplace and conducts post-offer, pre-employment drug screens on all prospective employees. The drug screen must be completed within 24 hours of the verbal offer of employment; failure to comply with this process will result in the offer being rescinded. Please note that any agency that receives federal funding—including Comprehensive Healthcare—must comply with federal regulations regarding drug use. Consequently, we do test for marijuana during drug screens and will rescind an offer of employment due to a positive result for marijuana.
