||| FROM ISLAND HEALTH |||
When you have an urgent health event, Island Primary Care – Orcas is here to care for you. In addition to providing family medicine, labs, diagnostic testing, x-rays and internal medicine, Island Primary Care – Orcas also offers after-hours care for urgent, non-life-threatening health events. The process to access after-hours care is the same as making an appointment. For more details on the process, please read the steps below.
If you are experiencing a life-threatening event, such as a heart attack, please call 911.
If your urgent health event occurs after the clinic is closed, and it is not life-threatening, call 360.293.3101 or toll-free at 360.376.2561. No walk-ins are available. Please listen carefully to the prompts.
You will be asked to provide relevant medical information, and the on-call physician will return your call within 30 minutes to discuss the situation and provide medical advice on your symptoms.
If determined to be medically necessary, the on-call physician will contact an Orcas Island provider to address urgent medical issues on the island. This may result in an after-hours clinic visit or help in facilitating an appointment in the clinic the following day.
Island Primary Care – Orcas is not a walk-in clinic and appointments are required for all visits. In some cases same-day appointments may be available. Call 360.293.3101 to schedule an appointment.
