Primary Care with a local history…
Primary Care Partnership is the result of many years in the practice of medicine, contemplating how it could be provided in a calmer, more caring way. We believe in the importance of mutual respect in our interactions with our patients and each other. Empowering patients to take an active role in decision-making regarding their preventative and treatment options is the cornerstone of our practice.
In 1962 this medical practice was founded by Steward and Frankie Kirkaldy in their home in response to the need for a local doctor. In the tradition of keeping care local and committing to the importance of the therapeutic relationship, Catherine Hood and Karen Ottenstein took over the practice in 2008 and transformed it into the model of care it is today. In 2016 they moved from the farmhouse down the road back here to the original Kirkaldy practice, added an amazing multi-use studio affectionately called the ‘Romper Room’, and fostered the growth of an excellent staff with deep knowledge of our medical landscape.
Visitors who walk through our door can see that we truly enjoy our work, it is where we take care of our friends and family, learn from each other, and make space to grow. You will find in us curiosity, empathy, the pursuit of medical excellence and honesty. The opportunity to help our members find a path to better health is a responsibility we honor and a joy we celebrate!
