As a physician assistant, Jennifer Krahn believes her most important role is to work with patients and help them achieve the quality of life, both physically and mentally, that they want. "Listening to my patients and open communication are important so I can understand their health concerns," Jennifer says. "I am dedicated to focusing on preventive medicine and taking care of the whole person, including mind, body and spirit. Our staff works together in the medical home model to ensure every aspect of a patient's visit exceeds their expectations." After earning her bachelor's degree in business marketing from Arizona State University in Tempe, Jennifer completed her Master of Physician Assistant Studies degree from A.T. Still University in Mesa, Ariz. Previous to her career as a physician assistant, she worked as a nursing assistant at Scottsdale Healthcare in Arizona. Jennifer is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants and Oregon Society of Physician Assistants. Originally from Milwaukie, Ore., Jennifer enjoys being a volunteer high school softball coach, running, traveling, trying new restaurants and spending time with her husband, dog, family and friends.
