Clinic Update: December 2021

Farewell and Thank You to Anne Presson, OIHCD Superintendent

The entire Island Hospital and Orcas Clinic team would like to send our heartfelt appreciation for Anne Presson who has served as the Superintendent of OIHCD since 2018. Her last day will be December 31, 2021.

Anne has worked tirelessly to help advance the health and wellness of the Orcas community, while continuing to advocate for a sustainable model to deliver care. She was instrumental in unifying the clinics on the island, and she helped set the Island Primary Care – Orcas Clinic up for success. We wish Anne all the best in her next pursuit and we look forward to working alongside the new OIHCD Superintendent, Tom Eversole, to continue delivering quality care to the Orcas Island community.

Safe Ways to Gather for the Holidays During the Pandemic

The holidays have arrived once more amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. While there are several ways we can choose to celebrate the holidays, most of us enjoy getting together with friends and family. The CDC has provided tips you can follow to help make these holiday gatherings safer not only for yourself, but for those you celebrate with.

The best way to minimize COVID-19 risk and protect those around you who are not yet eligible for vaccination, such as young children, is to get vaccinated if you’re eligible.
Wear well-fitting masks if you’re in public indoor settings.
If you’re sick or have symptoms, don’t host or attend a gathering.
Get tested if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or have a close contact with someone who tested positive.
