PORT ANGELES — Olympic Medical Center administrators tonight will present their blueprint for providing primary care for patients of the Virginia Mason clinic.
Although negotiations between clinic doctors and the hospital will continue today and in days afterward, “we are getting progressively closer every time we meet,” medical center CEO Mike Glenn said Tuesday.
OMC commissioners will meet at 6 p.m. in Linkletter Hall in the basement of the medical center, 939 Caroline St. A standing-room-only crowd is expected.
The clinic’s corporate parent in Seattle says it will quit the clinic at 433 E. Eighth St. on April 30.
OMC says it will lease the building until it can move the primary care doctors into clinics closer to the hospital.
The midterm lease will allow the clinic’s primary care physicians to continue seeing their 12,700 patients, many of whom are on Medicare.
