About me

Stacey has worked since 2006 as a PCP in internal medicine. She is an alum of OHSU's PA program and began her career on the rural Oregon coast, working in the local Critical Access Hospital in the morning - helping with admitting, rounding and discharging patients, and then seeing patients at a small internal medicine clinic next door in the afternoon. She also helped her clinic to care for patients at the Skilled Nursing Facility/Intermediate Care Facility across the street and would occasionally drive to the Assisted Living Facility down the highway to see patients in their apartments. When her clinic closed its doors, she moved to a Federally Qualified Health Center a few towns up the Pacific Highway and continued to practice internal medicine until 2020, when she joined OHSU. 

She currently is working as a PCP Beaverton Primary Care Clinic, practicing internal medicine.  She loves spending time with her family and friends, talking to the plants in her garden and picking up new hobbies.
