While our system remains focused on patient safety and adapting to the “new normal” as COVID-19 progresses, Skagit Regional Health has also continued with our commitment to growth and increased access to services. So far this year, we have added 14 new providers to the Skagit Regional Health system, including two Ear, Nose and Throat clinics in Mount Vernon and Anacortes. In August, we will open a new primary care office on Division Street in Mount Vernon, with an additional 11 providers slated to join the system before year end. 

“Growth and Access is a foundational principle for Skagit Regional Health, so we continue to work hard toward increasing options for patients,” said Brian Ivie, President and Chief Executive Officer. “This is a challenging time. We are committed to demonstrating the highest level of care and providing the quality services our communities need.”
