Orchards Family Medicine is closed permanently as of September 30, 2022.
Note from Elise Leland, MD:
Greetings,
I am writing to let you know that Orchards Family Medicine will be closing September 30, 2022. Helping you take care of your health and being a part of your life has been my honor and my pleasure over the last 17 years. We have often laughed and sometimes cried together. My good wishes go with you, and at least I won’t be nagging you to eat your veggies anymore. I will be taking a break from medicine. I am not yet sure what my next chapter will be, though I will not be returning to Primary Care.
I feel very privileged to have played a role in your care and your life as your doctor. I will treasure your stories and I am grateful for our time together.
With my best wishes for you and yours in the future,
Elise L. Leland MD
Medical Records: After September 30, 2022, your medical records will be securely held at Vancouver Clinic for 8 years. Those records are available to you and your medical providers (whether you seek medical care at Vancouver Clinic or not). If you will be transferring your care to Vancouver Clinic, they will automatically have your records, no action is required on your part. To have a copy of your OFM medical record transferred after September 30, 2022, please contact VC Release of Information at Vancouver Clinic (360-397-3638). Vancouver Clinic is our records custodian.
Continuation of Care: It is completely your choice who your next primary care provider will be. We have many excellent doctors in our community. One of your options is The Vancouver Clinic. They have multiple locations in Clark County including Urgent Care centers and specialty services. You can research any of the providers by going to https://tvc.org/ If you wish to transition your care to Vancouver Clinic, please call (360) 541-3856 and they will assist you in establishing care with a provider.
Whomever you choose to see, we are happy to provide records to coordinate care for complex medical issues. Please make this choice of a new Primary Care Provider before you will need any refills, updated labs etc., to prevent any gap in your medical care. Remember that a new doctor cannot place orders or refill prescriptions until you have seen them to establish care.
Billing and Payment: Please make payments as usual using the envelope enclosed with your statement. You can call 360-567-0488 with any questions regarding your bill. We are only checking the voicemail every few days, so we may take a bit to get back to you.
