Supporting Healthcare on Whidbey Island Since 1981

Through philanthropy, community advocacy, outreach, and innovative partnerships, our mission is to secure resources for access to high-quality healthcare for all, enhance patient care at WhidbeyHealth, and empower our healthcare professionals.

Local Care Delivered

At 4 am one morning,

Jim woke up shivering uncontrollably. He couldn’t walk steadily, and his wife Joann knew he needed care—and fast. Like many on the island, they debated on where to go. Jim had past frustrations with WhidbeyHealth and wanted to seek care off-island. Joann pushed for Coupeville, and thankfully, she won the debate.

 

What they found at WhidbeyHealth surprised them both.

 

Instead of a long wait, Jim was triaged immediately. The nurses were attentive. A provider sat with him and clearly explained what was happening. He had an infection in his blood and needed urgent treatment. He didn’t hear scary words like “sepsis,” but he felt seen, informed, and safe.
