||| FROM AAIMEE JOHNSON |||


Join us to celebrate nearly 30 years of commitment to healthcare on Orcas Island as Dr. David C. Shinstrom, Dr. Dave to most, hangs up his stethoscope in retirement. Dr. Dave is hoping many of you can attend so he can express his appreciation for the honor it has been to serve some of the medical needs of Orcas. It has been quite a ride, lots of stories.

New Gathering Date: Now scheduled for September 19, from 2 – 5 p.m., Orcas Center. The get-together will be catered with food and beverages.. 

Posters and signs announcing the party will be placed around the island. And, those willing to help should contact Aaimee Johnson at Aaimee.johnson@gmail.com, or Anne Presson at annep@orcashealth.org.

Please RSVP here by August 20: www.surveymonkey.com/r/DRDAVE2021
