Health Board commissioners get a tour of the new addition to WhidbeyHealth Medical Center Monday. Workers continued to put on finishing touches. Panoramic photos taken by local residents show off all aspects of Whidbey Island; baby animal shots will hang next to human baby shots outside the labor and delivery suites. The elements of the baby delivery rooms and patient lifts are demonstrated. CEO Geri Forbes stands in front of the Whidbey colors used throughout the new addition and next to one of many looming photographs selected by Whidbey Health Foundation.
