We anticipate this temporary referral to last for two weeks, effective today.

We are in the process of working with the small number of affected patients and coordinating their services at a nearby hospital of their choice.

The safety and delivery of care to our patients is paramount to everything we do at WhidbeyHealth. We appreciate the support of our patients and the Whidbey Island community as we work diligently to on-board additional providers to meet the needs of our growing Women’s Care practice.

The following services will remain available to all our Women’s Care patients:

• Emergency or active labor
