Dr. Camille Fleming, MD, MBA, who joined Orcas Medical Center (OMC) in January 2014, has been named medical director of the practice, according to Vince Oliver, CEO of Island Hospital of Anacortes, which manages the Orcas Island clinic.

“My family has been welcomed so warmly to Orcas Island,” said Dr. Fleming. “I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know my patients and working with Dr. Tony Giefer and our outstanding staff at OMC. I have also enjoyed working with the remarkable volunteers of Orcas Medical Foundation, and with the management and medical teams at Island Hospital, whose behind-the-scenes support serves Orcas Island patients in countless, unheralded ways.

Tony Giefer, MD, MPH, who joined the OMC practice in 2005, will continue to see patients four days each week. “We are so fortunate to have a physician with Tony Giefer’s experience in practicing and teaching family medicine,” said Dr. Fleming. “He also has special skills in the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders, FAA Class 2 and 3 medical certificate exams, and suboxone treatment for opiate dependence.”

Dr. Giefer commented, “Camille Fleming is an excellent physician and brings an impressive understanding of both medicine and business operations to the practice. I believe she is ideally suited to her new role.”

Dr. Fleming and her husband John Fleming moved to Orcas Island in December, 2013. They have three children, ages 13, 10 and 7.

“At OMC, we’re putting more emphasis than ever on helping patients achieve their personal health goals – for themselves and for their families,” said Dr. Fleming.
