Effective 3/25/26, face masks are OPTIONAL for patients, visitors, and staff at all WWMG clinics. Disposable masks are available at each clinic front desk for those who would like to wear them, but they are no longer required. Thank you for respecting each person’s choice.
WWMG’s masking policy is set in alignment with the Snohomish County Health Department and Northwest Healthcare Response Network, based on rates of COVID-19, influenza, and RSV in the community. Universal masking in healthcare facilities is required when Emergency Room visits for disease transmission exceeds certain thresholds. For more details, see https://www.snohd.org/546/respiratory-illness-dashboard.
We will continue to monitor and update our masking policy as conditions change. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
