Central Sterile Technician
About TCCH: In 1981, fueled by the desire to provide quality, accessible healthcare to migrant and farm workers in their community, five visionary women laid the foundation of what would later become Tri-Cities Community Health (TCCH). As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), TCCH stands tall in the community with six clinical sites strategically positioned to provide comprehensive primary care services to the underserved populations of Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, and neighboring cities.
TCCH offers dental, optometry, pharmacy, behavioral health, endocrinology, and many other services, and connects patients to vital social services such as WIC and Maternal Support Services. For logistical barriers, we deliver prescribed medication directly to patients’ doorsteps, reflecting our core values of Quality, Respect, and Service.
