We are pleased to announce that a new agreement has been reached with Aetna. This allows Valley to continue to be an in-network provider for Aetna-insured patients and will cover services provided since previous contracts ended June 1, 2025. We understand how important it is for our patients to retain in-network access to the doctors, programs, and expert care teams they know and trust. Thank you for your patience throughout this process.

Update on North Benson Urgent Care

8/7/2021
Author: Valley Medical Center


North Benson Urgent Care has been closed for repairs since August 1 following a shooting incident in the early morning hours in the North Benson Fred Meyer plaza. On August 7, a second incident occurred in the early morning hours creating further property damage to our clinic. No staff or patients were harmed. Valley’s Security Team and Renton PD are actively investigating and pursuing leads.

North Benson Urgent Care serves an extremely diverse population. Repairs are underway but the temporary closure is impacting access to care for those who need it most.

While repairs are being made, the community can hop in line remotely/check wait times for one of our other nearby Valley urgent care locations or schedule a telehealth online visit at www.valleymed.org/wait-times.

We will provide further updates as the investigation continues to unfold.
