ICHS was founded in 1973, when a small group of community members and medical students created a free health clinic for low-income Chinese and Filipino elders living in Seattle’s International District. In 2018, ICHS was one of only two health centers in Washington State named a National Quality Leader by the Health Resources and Services Administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, ICHS achieved the best overall clinical performance among all health centers. In 2017, ICHS received accreditation from the prestigious Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).

The ICHS Job Shadow Program is a one-day clinical observer opportunity.
