I'm originally from Eugene, Oregon. I have lived a lot of places since then, but it is true that there's no place like home. I moved to Philadelphia for college, West Africa for Peace Corps service, New York for medical school at Cornell University, and finally Atlanta, Georgia, for training in internal medicine and geriatrics at Emory University. I had the opportunity to practice Permanenete Medicine in Atlanta, working for over six years as a primary care provider in Kaiser Permanente's Georgia region, and I'm happy to continue working with KPNW in Salem.
