Community-Owned Care
WhidbeyHealth is a community-owned health system operated by the Whidbey Island Public Hospital District and governed by a board of five publicly elected commissioners. Across Washington, Public Hospital Districts make up more than half of the state’s hospitals, making them vital to healthcare access and delivery. Without them, many residents would not have healthcare options available in their own communities.
