A recent submission by Peace Health, despite denials to the contrary, implies that there has been NO specialty pediatrician care on San Juan Island. This is uninformed, demeaning, and pretentious.

I have for almost 20 years and CONTINUE to serve the families of San Juan Island. I currently see children at Friday Harbor Family Clinic not 2 days a month but two DAYS A WEEK and continue in my long-standing capacity as Special Education consultant to the San Juan Island School District. As FULL-TIME resident of our island, I remain committed to continuity of care for kids and their families especially those with special needs.

Thank you,
