"What you will find here is a community-inspired family medicine clinic where you have direct access to a doctor who knows you, is there when you need your doctor, and helps you learn about health in a variety of creative ways that extend past the walls of the exam room and into the community. I thank our community members for their inspiring ideas to help grow this clinic and make it possible. As far as I know, it's the first of its kind on the Olympic Peninsula! As a family doctor, I take care of people of every age. My intention is to provide you with outstanding and compassionate care in your basic primary care needs. This includes preventive/wellness care, care for chronic diseases, and care when you're sick. So what's different? First of all, access. When you get sick, you will typically be able to see me the same day or the next day. You will also have direct access to care and can communicate with me through your secure electronic medical record, email, phone, and, when appropriate, home visits. Not everything has to happen in a clinic visit! Second, our community wants to learn more about how to experience wellness. So we are going to explore health and wellness in a variety of ways, including sharing a library of resources, offering family visits, and group classes to learn together about cooking, nutrition, movement and many other topics."
