Help us celebrate team member transitions and welcome new team members to Island Primary Care – Orcas.
Patient Liaison: Alenna Garcia
Alenna has been with the Clinic from the start, formerly serving as a Patient Appointment Coordinator. We are excited to share that Alenna has moved into the new role of Patient Liaison as of this month. This position is a new role for the Clinic. The Liaison works collaboratively with care teams at Island Hospital, insurance companies, and community resources to effectively assist patients in navigating complexities and transitions of off island services.
“I am most excited for this new role for the learning experience and helping patients through new challenges in the medical field.” – Alenna
Patient Appointment Coordinator: Bridget Wright
Bridget was formerly a member of OFHC and we are delighted to have her come on board serving in the role of Patient Appointment Coordinator.
“Being a patient appointment coordinator and member of the front desk staff allows me to set the tone for our incoming patients. I want them to know that we are here for them, that we hear their needs, and that their health is in good hands. It allows me to interact in a positive and meaningful way with my community, which is most of the reason why I work in the industry." – Bridget
Lab Assistant/Phlebotomist: Syann Neal
We are excited to welcome Syann to the Clinic and to Orcas! She has been a phlebotomist for 23 years, and her intention is to always try to make what can sometimes be an unpleasant experience better and as easy as possible for the patient.
Registered Nurses: Veronica Alexander and Cheryl Holland
We could not be more excited to bring on two experienced RNs who are also new to Orcas.
"To me being a nurse means helping those when no one is watching and credit may never come, but knowing at the end of the day a small amount of comfort may come their way." – Veronica
"I always like to help people and be the good in the world." – Cheryl
Providers: Dr. Peterson’s patient panel will be grateful to learn that he has grown very attached to this community, and he has given our Clinic a long-term commitment.
All of our providers and staff look forward to taking care of our community.
