The WhidbeyHealth Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) composed of community members dedicated to supporting our island’s medical system and ensuring access to high-quality healthcare for all. The Foundation does not influence the administration of WhidbeyHealth. Since 1981, the Foundation has worked through philanthropy, advocacy, outreach, partnerships, and educational scholarships to strengthen patient care at WhidbeyHealth and empower the healthcare professionals who serve our community.

As island residents, we have witnessed both challenges and meaningful progress within our healthcare system through the years. We have celebrated the advancements made in the last several years, including increased stability, improved employee morale, expanded services, and enhanced access to care for island residents.

We are aware of the Board of Commissioners meeting on January 22 and applaud the outcome, which honors the strength and direction WhidbeyHealth continues to follow. WhidbeyHealth Foundation Board of Directors wishes to express our appreciation and pride in the employees of WhidbeyHealth for the dedication to our community and quality of care they showed at this meeting. They, along with members of our community, spoke out about what they want healthcare on this island to be. We all benefited.

WhidbeyHealth is strongest when our community stands behind it. Whether through giving, volunteering, or simply staying engaged, we invite our neighbors to join us in supporting the people and services that care for all of us, today and for generations to come.

We look forward to a continued partnership with our community in our mission to ensure access to high-quality healthcare for all of us on Whidbey.

Sincerely,
WhidbeyHealth Foundation Board of Directors
