Kerry Councilman, MD

As a native Oregonian, I was excited to return to the Pacific Northwest with my husband and raise our two children in such a beautiful place. I love all that Bend has to offer, including the boundless outdoor activities, such as, snowboarding, hiking, biking, and yoga. I believe my extensive experience in women's health will undoubtedly benefit the providers and communities we partner with.
