2020 has been eventful for the Point Roberts Public Hospital District (PRPHD) and the clinic, with the Commission meeting via Zoom most of the year due to Covid restrictions.
Despite the pandemic, the clinic has continued without interruption, providing healthcare to the community while following the governor’s mandated pandemic safety guidelines.
During the summer, the district issued a Request for Proposals for operation of the Clinic for the years 2021-2022. Proposals were submitted by the Shields Company and by SuperTrack Urgent Care. After a comprehensive review and considerable public input, the PRPHD chose the SuperTrack proposal, and a new contract has been signed for 2021-2022.
Flu shot clinics were held in September and October and 100 local residents received their flu immunization, more than three times the number in 2019. The clinic also cooperated with the fire department to assure continued Covid testing here.
The year 2020 saw the retirement of our beloved Virginia Lester, ARNP, co-founder of the Ayden Wellness Clinic. Her talent, passion and determination have been instrumental in the success of our clinic, and we are happy to say she remains active in her support of the clinic and the
community.
Medical Director Sean Bozorgzad, M.D. has assumed the role of medical provider on Mondays, and Jeremy Quinn, PA-C, fills that role on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Jeremy has over a decade of experience as a physician’s assistant in both primary and urgent care. Shivé Marshall continues as receptionist/assistant, and Chwynyn Vaughn remains as medical assistant and phlebotomist.
Mae Lary, MD, partner in SuperTrack Urgent Care PLLC, is now holding a dermatology clinic here one day each month. Access to care beyond the current clinic open days is augmented by telemedicine to providers at the Bellingham SuperTrack Lakeway location.
Thank you, Point Roberts, for your ongoing support.
Barbara Wayland, Superintendent
