Dr. CaseDr. Case has been involved with the Island County medical community since 1970. A retired Navy family physician, he became actively involved with the Island County Health Department in 1991 as Island County Health Officer. As such, he was instrumental in helping Island County to develop the Community Clinics on North Whidbey, South Whidbey, and Camano Island. Dr. Case has a great deal of administrative experience working with hospitals and physicians in the military, and strongly believes that Whidbey General leadership must work closely with all health care providers to assure that the hospital continues to operate in a sound fiscal environment. His range of expertise in the health care arena has been an asset to the hospital board and to the Health Department.
