Whidbey General Hospital and Clinics will kick off a series of town hall-style talks at 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 28 at the Langley United Methodist Church. This will be the first in a series of 90-minute dialogues with the community that will take place on the south, central and north areas of the island. One talk is scheduled for each month in the first quarter of this year, and will continue quarterly throughout 2016.

Whidbey General CEO Geri Forbes will attend each of the talks, and will be joined by hospital commissioners and various members of the medical staff. The Langley meeting will include board president Anne Tarrant and District 1 Commissioner Grethe Cammermeyer, PhD, who represents South Whidbey on the hospital board.

These town halls will include updates on the inpatient wing building project, introductions to new providers who have joined our community, and information on various healthcare services. There will be ample time for a question-and-answer period, during which the community is encouraged to voice their impressions, suggestions, kudos and concerns.

Langley United Methodist Church is located at 301 Anthes Ave. in Langley. The talk is 5–6:30 p.m. Appetizers and refreshments will be provided.

Future talks are scheduled:

• An Oak Harbor town hall talk will be 5-6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 24 at the Oak Harbor Yacht Club, 1301 SE Catalina Drive, Oak Harbor.
• A Central Whidbey talk is scheduled 5-6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 22 at Whidbey General Hospital in Conference Room A and B.
