||| FROM VICTORIA SMITH for ORCAS HEALTHCARE ADVOCATES |||


Are you feeling helpless, abandoned, and lost navigating the healthcare system on Orcas Island? If so, you are not alone. We are with you. And we are not willing to accept that we are powerless to change our situation.

Quality, accessible healthcare is a human right. Yes, even on an island.

THE ORCAS HEALTHCARE ADVOCATES invite you to a TOWN HALL MEETING on September 20, 2026, Sunday, 2-4 p.m. at Orcas Fire & Rescue Public Meeting Room (45 Lavender Lane, Eastsound) to identify, discuss, and address the Orcas Island healthcare problems and issues exposed by, and persisting in the aftermath of, the unilateral and summary dismissal by Island Health of a doctor beloved by the Community.
