During this Thanksgiving season, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who contribute to our community’s healthcare.


THANK YOU...


To our compassionate caregivers, who support our patients at every stage of life, from infancy to old age, navigating all the health needs along the way.


To our dedicated staff, who work behind the scenes to help provide exceptional care to our patients—you are what make Island Health a special place to work.


To our visionary leaders, who find creative and sustainable ways to elevate the care we can bring to our vibrant, island community.


To our generous Foundation Board and donors, who share our commitment to deliver 5-star care to all we serve, supporting Island Health with over $2,683,000 this year.


To our valued community partners, who collaborate with us to help provide care to those in greatest need.


To our Board of Commissioners, who profoundly care about this community, evidenced by the generosity of the time they give to support our purpose.


And to YOU, our community and the families we serve—who have put your trust in Island Health as your healthcare partner.


As YOUR public hospital district, our sole purpose is to be the best healthcare partner to this community. Every day, we renew this pledge and strive to ensure that access to comprehensive, high-quality care remains local, right here in Anacortes. We are privileged to serve each and every one of you.


My best wishes to each of you for a happy Thanksgiving.


Elise Cutter, MBA

Chief Executive Officer
