Northwest Medical Arts

Located in University Place, less than 25 miles from Sea‑Tac Airport, Northwest Medical Arts opened in April 2023 and was founded by nurse practitioners Heather Grods and Shanti Benoit. The woman‑, minority‑, and veteran‑owned practice emphasizes a consultative approach and community impact, operating an Impact Circle membership program that donates a portion of proceeds to local nonprofits. The team stages public initiatives such as Random Acts of Kindness Week and signature events like “The Confidence Experience.” The practice reports serving more than 1,900 patients, offers same‑day appointments and free parking, and maintains year‑round programs including a military discount and member benefits.
