ABOUT ME

I work for the Puget Sound VA Medical Center, where I run a primary care program for Veterans experiencing homelessness. I split my time between outreach to different shelters in Seattle and seeing my patients in clinic. I've been doing this since graduating from the University of Washington Internal Medicine residency program back in 2012. In addition to my professional work, I also serve on the governing board of the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness, a local advocacy group, and on the Implementation Board of King County’s Regional Homelessness Authority.

To be clear, the views on this site are entirely my own, and don't necessarily reflect those of the VA, SKCCH or the RHA.

This was intended to be an educational site for other practitioners, but I’ve never quite gotten it off the ground. Eventually, the main topics I'll focus on are:

• primary care

• homelessness

• patient education
