Our Mission
At Hands On Medicine, we approach achieving health and wellness through nurturing the mind, body, and spirit within individual, family and social contexts.
Patients are encouraged, expected, and empowered to take an active role in their healthcare through integrated, multidisciplinary collaboration.
“It is my mission to make health accessible and sustainable for families living in N/NE Portland. It is my dream to provide primary care to families in the city I grew up in, in my neighborhood, for the duration of my career. It’s about quality of life. I love walking to work and look forward to practicing here until I am an old woman.”
