Wellness Cluster

Recent investments have further cemented health care’s importance in Burien’s economy including two brand new clinics, a new health sciences education facility, and major investments planned for St. Anne Hospital. The largest employment sector, Burien has a large concentration of health care providers including:

  • St. Anne Hospital (a full service hospital)
  • Neighborhood clinics
  • Private practice doctors, dentists
  • Natural medicine
  • Other wellness specialists

Together with educational programs like the Puget Sound Skills Center, which is training the next generation workforce, these health care providers comprise the Wellness Cluster and produce thousands of jobs for the local economy.

“The Burien Wellness Cluster was critical to our success. Through the Wellness Cluster, we were able to form relationships with businesses and identify employers for our students with certifications in nursing.” – Dave Estes, Puget Sound Skills Center, Burien
