With the recent expansion of healthcare services on the island, it can be challenging to navigate your options. We’re here to help.
To simplify navigation of our island’s healthcare services, we have developed this 5-part Healthcare How-To. This quick reference guide is designed to help residents easily identify the appropriate provider for their specific health concerns. Print and save this document for easy access at home or in your office. We will keep this document updated as healthcare options expand on the island. 
Thank you for being a part of our vibrant Vashon community. Your health and well-being are our top priority. Together, we can ensure that everyone has access to the healthcare they need.

Your Three Main Medical Providers on Vashon

With the addition of another on-island medical health resource, now is a good time to outline the scope of the main medical entities on island, primary care, urgent care, and the new community-based care model, Vashon Mobile Integrated Health. This information can be clicked to enlarge and/or printed from this newsletter for future use.

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.

Tim Johnson

My rather eclectic work history includes law enforcement and security, food manufacturing, distribution,  sales, brand development, project management, political campaign strategy and messaging, nonprofit leadership, retail operations, and local governance. Having worked on one health-related project or another on Vashon for close to fifteen years, returning to serve a District I helped create is the honor and challenge of a lifetime.

I thrive on connecting with people, ideas, opportunities, and solutions, and welcome your suggestions, questions, concerns, or critiques. Outside of public life, I enjoy golfing, playing drums (badly), cooking (surprisingly not badly), devouring a good novel, pampering pets, and exploring new and familiar urban and natural haunts.
