"I am the acting Medical Director of the Providence Stroke Center at Providence Portland Medical Center, an American Stroke Association award-winning program. We provide proven quality care for patients with sudden neurological illnesses that threaten quality-of-life and even life itself, including stroke and brain hemorrhage. We support patients and their families as we work to optimize quality-of-life. This often means providing cutting-edge stroke and neuro-intensive care, but sometimes means providing end-of-life care as we let nature take its course. I find satisfaction in helping the entire family through the process of finding and providing the best outcome for the patient based on their desires."
