Michele R. Casey, MD, FAAFP

I went into primary care because I was attracted to the wide spectrum of knowledge required, the attention to preventive care and the ability to care for many chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and asthma. I liked helping patients navigate the complex system. I remain in it because I value what we do; primary care is the cornerstone of a strong health care system. I serve in leadership because helping primary care providers find joy in what they do and helping the health care system deliver high-quality, accessible care are my top priorities. I am excited to be a part of a health system that shares these goals. With fellowship training in advanced wilderness medicine, I also serve on medical mission and disaster teams. My top priority outside of the office is spending time with my three boys. Being a mom is both the hardest but most rewarding part of my life.
