Shoreline Clinic, eighth in network, opens

The UW Physicians Shoreline/North King County Clinic, eighth neighborhood clinic in the UW Physicians Network, opened this week in the Aurora Village Shopping Center at N. 205th and Aurora.

The clinic provides convenient access to UW physicians for residents of Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Richmond Highlands, Firdale and other areas north of Seattle.

Hours are Monday and Tuesday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Wednesday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The clinic phone number is (206) 542-5656.

In keeping with neighborhood demographics — including sizable numbers of children and seniors — the clinic offers a practice in family medicine with obstetrics.

Dr. Leonard DuPree, clinic chief, is a Seattle native and a Shoreline resident since 1990. He earned his medical degree at the UW and did residency training with Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles.

DuPree is joined at the clinic by the husband-and-wife team of Dr. Nancy Morgan and Dr. Robert Morgan. All three doctors are board-certified in family practice.

The Morgans, who live in Edmonds, also graduated from the UW School of Medicine and trained together at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, Fla. They have worked together in Aberdeen, Anacortes and Monroe.

The Shoreline clinic is the northernmost in the UW Physicians primary-care network and the first built entirely new for this purpose.

The primary-care clinics are jointly sponsored by UW Medical Center, Harborview Medical Center, UW Physicians and the UW School of Medicine. Neighborhood clinics are now open in West Seattle, Factoria, Woodinville, Kent/Des Moines, Belltown and Federal Way. A ninth clinic is scheduled to open in September in Auburn. ¶
