PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center Celebrates First Anniversary
Public Open House Sunday, Nov. 17
PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center (PIMC) opened in Friday Harbor on Nov. 17, 2012. One year later, the community is invited to an Open House to celebrate a year of shared “firsts” during this past year.
The first anniversary Open House is noon to 4 p.m. this Sunday, Nov. 17, at PIMC, 1117 Spring Street in Friday Harbor. For off-islander visitors a shuttle will meet each ferry that arrives between noon and 4 p.m., providing free transportation to Peace Island.
PeaceHealth Peace Island Medical Center grew out of collaborative planning with Islanders to provide much-needed access to hospital facilities and specialty care.
Among the “firsts” achieved since PIMC opened in November 2012:
- First life-saving emergency blood transfusion;
- First pediatric procedural sedation for lumbar puncture;
- First cardiac treadmill for Emergency Department (ED) patient;
- First ED mental health evaluation; and
- Access to drug-eluting stents, minimally invasive valve surgery, thoracic surgery and oncology
