Description ABOUT US 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, boasting six clinical sites strategically positioned to provide comprehensive primary care services to the underserved populations of Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, and the neighboring cities.
Serving as the trusted medical home for our patients, TCCH offers a wide range of services - from dental care, optometry, and pharmacy needs to behavioral health and endocrinology.
Our spectrum of services is continually expanding as our community grows.
Our excellent care extends beyond the walls of our clinics, seamlessly connecting patients to vital social services like WIC and Maternal Support Services.
And for those facing logistical barriers, we go the extra mile, ensuring access to prescribed medication by delivering directly to their doorstep.
Everything we do reflects our core values of Quality, Respect, and Service.

Market context
In Washington, Registered Dietitian roles are often competitive because employers look for candidates who already hold the required master’s degree, CDR board certification, and a valid RD license, with eating-disorder treatment experience preferred. These jobs can stand out for candidates who can work across DBT, CBT, and FBT-informed care while meeting clinical documentation and patient-support expectations. Review the AI-summarized requirements and benefits here to save time, then confirm your licensure status and highlight any eating-disorder or behavioral-health experience in your application.
