Ellen Evans
Ellen was a physician assistant from 1987 to 2021. Early on, she was excited about this profession, which was still pretty new in the 1980s. There was an emphasis on a team approach that included the patient as a team member. In this primary care setting, you were able to develop a relationship with patients and learn about their values. Over time, things changed. She became disillusioned with the business of western medicine and retired.
Ellen enjoys bicycling, cross country skiing, gardening, and working on the Ice Age Trail. Her passion is scuba diving. She has lived in Oregon since 1996.
