Hi, I’m Dr. Lauren Engelmann

Primary Care Physician on Mercer Island, WA
founder of Island Health

I currently offer my services through a modern telemedicine platform, and I am excited to begin welcoming patients to my future physical clinic here on the island.

My journey as a family medicine doctor, with special board certification in Hospice and Palliative Care, has given me a deep understanding of what truly matters in healthcare.

My goal is for you to feel motivated and engaged in your health journey, knowing you have a physician who takes the time to listen, explains things in understandable language, and thoroughly reviews your medical history.
