They Said It

Over recent weeks there have been major upheavals within the WhidbeyHealth system, including sweeping changes in senior leadership and identification of a severe financial shortfall which was reported to the community at the Feb. 17 meeting of the Board.

The purpose of this letter is to bring everyone up to speed on how we have approached these two challenges thus far.
