OLYMPIA – The Department of Health (DOH) issued an initial order suspending the license of Integrity Care and Staffing Inc. (IHS.FS.61014907).
The initial statement of charges issued in July 2024 alleged that Integrity Care and Staffing Inc., located at 510 Grass Lake St. NW, Olympia, WA 98502, failed to cooperate with a complaint investigation regarding concerns that the facility had not been providing patient care services for which payments were being made to a Puyallup Tribe client since November of 2023. Integrity Care and Staffing Inc. denied access to DOH investigators over the course of multiple attempts and several months. Integrity Care requested a hearing to contest the charges, and a Health Law Judge entered an initial order suspending Integrity Care’s license for a period of five years amongst other stipulations.
Integrity Care has 20 days to appeal the initial order. Integrity Care cannot provide patient care services within the state of Washington as a result of the ruling. The public will continue to be updated should further developments occur in the future.
