expansion complete
A remodeling project and 1,000 square-foot addition is complete at Skagit Regional Clinics – Camano Island to better serve the health care needs of the 15,000 island residents. The project expanded clinical space with the addition of five new exam rooms, all featuring state-of-theart equipment. A new nurse’s work station was added and the reception area was revamped for increased patient privacy. Power doors were installed in the main entry, making the clinic more easily accessible.
Fresh paint, a new roof and updated landscaping helped to freshen up the exterior. The facility, which was built in 1999, is Camano Island’s only clinic and a partnership between Island County and Skagit Regional Health. The clinic offers a full range of Family Medicine and lab services under the care of two health care professionals, who are also Camano Island residents, Joshua Griggs, MD and Anne Herbert, PA-C. In addition to enhancing the building’s appearance and making
the facility more comfortable, the expansion project will ensure that the clinic will be able to support the people of Camano Island in the future. “The clinic can now grow with the needs of the community and eventually house three full-time providers,” said Dr. Griggs.

Towards that end, Landsman graduated in the spring of 2013 from the University of Washington with two graduate degrees – first a Masters in Public Administration and second

During his one-year fellowship which began in July 2013, Landsman will be doing rotations and working with members of the Skagit Regional Health executive team as well as service line leaders to map out a variety of projects focusing on the areas of finance, strategic planning and human resources. Landsman is looking forward to his involvement in developing and implementing projects in the coming year that will make a positive difference in the quality of the health care experience.
