Lopez Island Medical Clinic Remodels

Lopez Island Medical Clinic recently completed a remodel of its reception area to enhance the patient experience and make the facility more ergonomically sound for the staff. Local contractor Jacob Larson consulted with LIMC staff on the challenges they face with limited space. The remodel opened up a large window to the reception/waiting area that allows two receptionists to assist patients simultaneously.
In addition, an area was created so staff could more easily pass charts to providers. To avoid disrupting patient care, the remodel took place over a single weekend. Work crews arrived Friday after the clinic closed and worked long hours to complete the project by Monday morning when the clinic reopened.
Funding for this project was provided by the Catherine Washburn Memorial Association (CWMA) which owns the land and clinic building. CWMA is a community-supported foundation which provides LIMC with funding and volunteer activities. In addition to the reception-area remodel, the CWMA also has funded major capital improvements and purchased new stretchers and ultrasound equipment for the clinic.
