This website offers information about both the Lopez clinic and the Catherine Washburn Memorial Association (CWMA), the non-profit organization which built Lopez clinic and is solely responsible for its on-going funding. On the left, Lopez clinic; on the right, the CWMA.

Our clinic couldn't exist without the financial support of this community. The Lopez Island Medical Clinic was not only built, equipped, and maintained entirely with islanders' donations, today it is that same friends-and-neighbors' funding that keeps our clinic open and thriving. The CWMA is the group of local volunteers who organize and manage those fundraising efforts. Lopez clinic enjoys an important partnership with Island Hospital in Anacortes whose staffing support, fiscal management and clinical resources help make Lopez clinic one of the finest rural healthcare providers in the Pacific Northwest.
