Membership

TO OUR VALUED PATIENTS

July 2025

Dear Olympic Internal Medicine patients,

Thank you for placing your trust in our practice over the past two years. Your loyalty has meant everything to us as we've navigated significant changes, including our transition to a membership model and Dr. Gross's well-deserved retirement.

During this time, we've remained committed to providing the personalized, comprehensive care that sets us apart—longer appointment times, the ability to address multiple concerns in one visit, same-day access for urgent needs, and specialized expertise for complex medical conditions. We're proud to offer an alternative to the rushed, impersonal experience often found in larger healthcare systems.

As we look toward 2026, we face the same economic pressures affecting healthcare practices nationwide—rising operational costs, increased regulatory requirements, and ongoing market challenges. After careful consideration and exploration of all alternatives, we've made the difficult decision to adjust our annual membership fee to $300, effective January 1, 2026.

We recognize this represents a meaningful increase, and we don't take this decision lightly. Our goal remains providing exceptional, accessible care while maintaining the financial stability necessary to serve our community for years to come. We've researched comparable practices nationally and believe our fee remains competitive for the level of personalized service we provide.

The new fee will be automatically charged to your payment method on file at the beginning of the year. If for any reason you do not wish to participate in the membership for 2026, please remember that you are required to submit a disenrollment request in writing before December 1st, 2025.

We value each of you and hope to continue serving as your healthcare partner. Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in our practice.

Sincerely,

Drs. Dore, Gretch and Steele
