A Big Thank You to the Lopez Clinic Staff!

Cuts and bruises bandaged, hearts examined, medical mysteries solved. Uninterrupted service through the COVID pandemic. Maybe even a nudge to eat your vegetables. Thank you to everyone who served at the UW Lopez Clinic over the last eight years. Thousands of Lopezians are healthier because of you.

If you happen to see a member of the clinic staff this weekend, feel free to thank them. Over the past year, they have shown remarkable resilience through a period of constant transition, often working short-staffed while facing uncertainty about their own roles.

These last few days have been especially demanding, as UW and Sea Mar teams worked alongside staff who were simultaneously training for new positions and seeing urgent-needs patients, all while dismantling and rebuilding the Clinic’s IT system and restocking it with Sea Mar supplies. They will return on Monday to open a newly restructured Clinic with new procedures.
