Island Hospital is taking extra measures to ensure the safety of our patients during the COVID-19 crisis. Here's what we are doing to make the hospital and our clinics safe for your next visit:

• Screening patients and staff upon entry into the building
• Requiring masks be worn by patients and staff
• Installing Plexiglas at all registration desks
• Additional sanitizing in high-touch areas
• Rearranging waiting areas so chairs are 6 feet apart
• Scheduling virtual visits, when appropriate
• Scheduling car checks, when appropriate
• Restricting visitors

Please call the clinic if you have any concerns. We are here for you!

Island Hospital’s Medical Laboratory is vital for reliable, effective and timely patient care. Oftentimes the preliminary step in understanding your health concerns, the Laboratory plays a crucial role in assisting with diagnosing, treating and preventing medical conditions. You can feel confident that our highly trained staff is able to accurately process and test your sample, and provide detailed results to your physician, who can then develop a tailored plan for you.

Any person or staff member, including physicians, who has concerns about patient care or safety in Laboratory Services is encouraged to contact the Laboratory Director (360) 982-8488, or Quality Improvement (360) 299-1343.
