To simplify navigation of the island’s recently expanded health care services, we have developed this 5-part care continuum. This quick reference guide is designed to help residents easily identify the appropriate provider for their specific health concerns.

Introducing Compassionate Care
We are excited to announce that our Compassionate Care Initiative is now in effect, allowing eligible Vashon residents to access urgent care services through DispatchHealth via our partners at Vashon Youth and Family Services. Here’s how it works:
Call the Compassionate Care referrer at VYFS from 9-5 Monday-Friday at 206-688-8405 and explain your situation.
The referrer authorizes a visit from DispatchHealth.
DispatchHealth contacts you and sets up an appointment.
DispatchHealth provides your care.
DispatchHealth bills the Vashon Health Care District.
You schedule a visit with VYFS and provide the necessary financial information.
VYFS helps you sign up for available public or private insurance where eligible and able.
