Sarah Winston, PA-C — Circle Medical

Tell us what makes you passionate about being a healthcare provider.I find fulfillment in offering comfort and care to others and helping people feel better and live healthier lives. I also genuinely enjoy listening to people's personal histories, recognizing the unique stories and medical concerns behind every individual. In your opinion, what should be the role of a primary care provider for a patient, taking into account both physical health and behavioral health needs? As a primary care provider, I believe my role is to promote long-term wellness in every aspect of a patient's life by coordinating care, providing education, and offering compassionate support. As a result, I strive to build trusting relationships that allow patients to feel safe sharing their concerns. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What do you like to do in your spare time? I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, did my medical training as a Physician Assistant in Augusta, Georgia and completed my Fellowship/Residency in Redding, California. Wanderlust runs deep in my veins so in my spare time I'm usually traveling but if you find me at home I'm usually reading, watching documentaries ( I love history), sci-fi (i.e. Star Trek, Twilight Zone), fantasy (i.e. LOTR), cooking, or listening to music.
