This directory of health-related and professional services has been compiled by your Port Ludlow neighbors to help new residents locate resources and to aid those seeking information while under stress. All of the information is available through other sources; here it is available in one place.
Even though you may have chosen to live in this area because of its beauty and active lifestyle, life changes over time and accidents or illness may occur. We hope this directory can help you locate appropriate services at these times of need.
If you have learned of a doctor whom you believe excelled in his/her area of expertise, a health service, a booklet, or other information which would be useful to a friend, please share with your neighbors by way of this directory. It will help other neighbors. Call Beverly Browne (437-8099), Alice Luongo (437-4114), or Peggy Schafran (437-0035).
Information has been collected from various sources. If errors are present in any of the included information, please telephone corrections to Beverly Browne (437-8099) or Alice Luongo (437-41140).
