About Seamer Community Health Center

Sea Mar Community Health Centers were founded in 1978 by a group of Latino community leaders. The group sought to address the medical needs of western Washington, particularly the Spanish-speaking community. Sea Mar understands the barriers that Latino and other immigrant communities may face in accessing healthcare, obtaining higher education, or simply earning a living. For this reason, Cie Maa has established additional programs, services, and events such as Cie Maa Fiesta Patrias to celebrate the cultural traditions of Latino beyond primary care.
