Physician Assistant Mitch Valente Joins Samaritan Healthcare

MOSES LAKE – Samaritan Healthcare is pleased to announce the arrival of Mitch Valente, PA-C, who has joined their team at CareToday at Samaritan Healthcare on Pioneer.

CareToday welcomes walk-in patients and they don’t need to be patients at Samaritan.

With a background in emergency medicine, Mitch brings expertise and compassion to provide care for patients at CareToday. He diagnoses and treats non-life-threatening concerns—minor injuries and illnesses, fevers, earaches, sprains, cuts, burns, fractures, and more.

In addition to treating immediate concerns, he coordinates care with patients’ primary providers and specialists for medical conditions that require ongoing treatment.

Mitch is dedicated to delivering prompt and effective medical care. He firmly believes in fostering a compassionate and understanding environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and are provided the highest standard of care.

“When someone comes to CareToday—even if they’re not a Samaritan patient—it’s gratifying to be able to provide care,” said Mitch. “I enjoy meeting the patients and diagnosing their conditions and being a calm and reassuring presence to help them with their concerns.”

Mitch recently worked in a busy Emergency Department near Chicago, where he was responsible for evaluating, triaging, and managing acute conditions. He earned his Master of Medical Science in physician assistant studies from Midwestern University in Downers Grove, IL. He received his Bachelor of Science in biomedical sciences from the Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT.

“My goal with every patient is that they see me as an empathetic provider who takes the time to explain their illness or condition,” said Mitch. “It’s important to thoroughly explain their concerns so they know and understand how the care plan will be approached.”

CareToday at Samaritan Clinic on Pioneer is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. No appointment is necessary; walk in to receive care. View wait times or check in online at samaritanhealthcare.com/caretoday.
