The Shortest Distance to Far Away, Check out Oak Harbor!
The Community Oak Harbor, Washington
Oak Harbor is a city located on Whidbey Island in Island County,
Washington, a large island just north of Seattle. Situated between
the mainland and the Olympic Peninsula, it is Washington's largest
island. With the surplus of state parks, charming storefronts, and
stunning sunset views, it's also a top-weekend destination for the
Seattle metro. Explore Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve,
or check out Deception Pass State Park, one of Washington's best
state parks which occupies Whidbey Island's northern tip and the
southern tip of Fidalgo Island. Or, if you're looking more for the
city experience, Seattle is just 35 miles away via WA-525 and I-5
South where you can dive right into the unrivaled natural beauty
and world-class attractions to major sports teams, a thriving arts
and culture scene, and beyond, where there's always something to do
in Seattle.

About the Facility Naval Branch Health Clinic Oak Harbor
The provision of healthcare was established at the time Naval Air
Station, Whidbey Island (NASWI) was commissioned in 1942.
Originally a department under the Naval Air Station and funded by
the Bureau of Weapons and Docks, the hospital was located in the
building that now houses Skagit Valley College, just outside the
main gate to the Seaplane Base. The Family Practice Clinic,
consisting of Pediatrics, Medical Clinic, Aviation Medicine, and
Dental, was located on Ault Field across from where the base gas
station is now. The hospital at the Seaplane Base had Surgical and
Outpatient Clinics, OB/GYN, Operating and Delivery Rooms, Pharmacy,

Clinic Oak Harbor continues to push forward with hard work and
dedication as we transition under the new leadership of Defense
