Board-Certified Family Medicine Physician Jamie Robinson, MD, has joined the Good Shepherd Health Care System’s medical staff.
Robinson joins Nicole Patching, MD, Stewart Swena, MD, Angie Hays, FNP, Michelle McIntyre, FNP, Kaila Sullivan, FNP, and JoDee Williams, DNP, in the Rural Health Clinic located at 600 NW 11th St, Suite E-37 in Hermiston.
“We are excited to welcome Dr. Robinson to the team,” stated GSHCS President & CEO Art Mathisen. “Growing our primary care services is how we support healthy, thriving communities in our region.”
What brought Robinson to Eastern Oregon was the country living appeal.
“I’m drawn to rural living and sunshine,” she said. “I enjoy being outdoors with my family and taking care of our horse. This area and the team at Good Shepherd felt like a great fit for me.”
Robinson completed her residency at Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland, Wash., five years ago. She obtained her Medical Doctorate from Ross University School of Medicine, Dominica in 2016.
“I like caring for all ages and primary care is needed throughout a person’s lifetime,” Robinson said. “My goal for primary care is to have good bonds and trust with my patients during every step of their healthcare journey.”
A Primary Care Provider (PCP) helps a patient to manage all their health care needs. PCPs are typically the first healthcare professional a patient connects with for preventative care or treatment of any medical need that is not an emergency. Regular primary care visits correlate with better health outcomes and a lower risk of premature death, since most health issues can be addressed early on. Establishing a PCP and attending annual visits is essential to maintaining overall health and well-being.
Robinson is welcoming new patients of all ages and provides a wide scope of practice from acute care, preventative care, health care screenings, vaccination, sports medicine and injuries, women’s care and more. Robinson also coordinates specialty care when needed.
“Having a primary care provider who knows your medical history and can provide continuity of care is important in ensuring that you receive the appropriate treatment and support for your individual health needs,” said Robinson.
New patients should come prepared with their past medical history, including any medications they are currently taking. It is also recommended that patients bring their prescriptions with them so that dosages can be recorded accurately. New patients are encouraged to enroll in Good Shepherd’s MyHealth Patient Portal where patients can message their provider, request prescription refills, pay bills online, access test results and manage their appointments. Visit www.gshealth.org/myhealth to enroll.
