Welcome to Family Health Associates
Our Physicians
All our family physicians are board certified. Today, that means three years of training after graduation from medical school, followed by a nationally standardized examination. In order to maintain specialty certification, it is necessary to take and pass a recertification exam every six years, and pass a practice audit.
Our Nurse Practitioners
Geraldine Kildow and Sharon Kerlin are Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners that help to provide patient care in our office. An Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) is a registered nurse with further education who is also professionally certified and licensed in the state of Washington to practice as a member of our health care team. We believe that both our doctors and our nurse practitioners have unique strengths that they bring to our health care team, and we pledge to work closely together to try and make our care more available and complete.
Get to know us!
Family Care Network is an independent practice that is owned by our physicians. This is because we want our family physicians to be independant and free to collaborate on behalf of our patients with other health care providers based only on the quality of their service and care.
