ABOUT US
MESSAGE FROM THE PROVIDER
“Being a privately-owned, primary care clinic, we are able to truly dedicate time to each individual and their care. This is crucial in creating an optimal patient experience. GHPC allows me to provide patient care in the way I intended when I began my educational journey to become an ARNP.
​
I am extremely excited to serve the Gig Harbor community. I was born and raised here and have always maintained the goal of practicing in my home town. In the short time since our clinic opened, we have been welcomed with open arms by the community. Gig Harbor embodies a true sense of community unlike any other place I have experienced. It’s good to be home.”
