Mickey Kander, PA-C MSW MPH, is especially interested in whole patient care that addresses more than physical ailments alone. He is a graduate of the University of Washington’s Physician Assistant program. Before becoming a Physician Assistant, Mickey was a clinical social worker and public health professional.

From public health, he learned that health care is ideal when there is evidence to support what works best.
