Hi! I’m Dr. Lauren Engelmann

founder of Islander Health and Your Primary Care Provider & Health Partner on Mercer Island

With 14 years of experience and dual board certifications in Family Medicine and Palliative Medicine, I offer comprehensive care that truly meets your needs. From preventative health and wellness plans to compassionate support when you or a loved one faces a serious illness, I'm here for it all.

I understand the unique juggle of middle age – balancing your own health needs with caring for your kids and aging parents. That's why I created Islander Health as a small, direct primary care practice. We currently offer our services through telemedicine, with plans to open a physical clinic on Mercer Island in the future. 

Here, you won't just be another patient; you'll always feel seen, assured, and truly confident in your care plan.

Let’s work together to help you live well and age well!
