Our newest resident physicians spent time touring the Vancouver community today. They even had the honor of touring Lincoln Place with Washington Governor, Jay Inslee.

Lincoln Place is a multifaceted partnership where residents of the housing receive on-site mental health and substance abuse services. Lincoln Place provides permanent supportive housing so people may live there indefinitely and receive on-going services. Many providers, like our own FMSW faculty and residents, also provide care.
