Dr. Vince Foster is grateful to have the opportunity to serve on the Unity Care NW Board of Directors, having previously served as an Employee Assistance Program provider to UCNW employees. He and his wife have lived in Bellingham for over 25 years.
He is a semi-retired psychologist with a Masters in Addiction Counseling. His professional background includes over 40 years in health care as a mental health services provider along with 22 years as a clinical supervisor and mental health program manager.
He is particularly interested in assisting UCNW to advance their population health perspective because he believes that evidence supports that it is the most cost-effective way to reduce human suffering and to build strong, vibrant and successful communities.

I started working at Unity Care NW in November 2018, and specialize in Family Medicine.
I graduated from Loyola Stritch School of Medicine and did my family medicine residency in Carbondale, Illinois. I have worked for non-profit clinics in several states and in Australia as well as doing volunteer work overseas in St. Lucia, Brazil, and Tanzania. I have taught with the University of Illinois, the University of Washington and the University of Dodoma.
I love working at a clinic that does not limit who can be seen and also goes the extra mile to help patients with many of the problems that affect health.
