View Comments BAINBRIDGE ISLAND – Swedish Medical Group has confirmed that it will close its primary care clinic on Hildebrand Lane this summer, leaving a swath of patients looking for new health care providers. Swedish said it had attempted to find a new provider to take over its Bainbridge clinic but no deal emerged from those efforts. A message sent to patients last week by Swedish officials confirmed that the clinic will permanently close on July 2. “Swedish Medical Group’s departure from Bainbridge Island was a difficult but necessary decision for Swedish Medical Group as we continue striving for long-term sustainability of high-quality patient care,” the message said. “Over the past six months, since our initial communication about the impending closure, we hosted discussions with multiple providers in an effort to secure an agreement with a viable healthcare organization to carry on clinic operations. Unfortunately, we were not able to solidify a deal.”
