Shana Kim, MD
Shana was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. She studied economics and political science at Boston University and attended medical school at Michigan State University. Shana's interest in medicine began at a young age as she helped her immigrant parents navigate through the complex medical system and witnessed the challenges to accessing care. These experiences shaped her desire to be a patient advocate to provide comprehensive care for all people. Shana chose to join Kaiser Permanente because she values practicing in an environment that promotes primary care and prioritizes patient-centered care. She is very excited to be in the Pacific Northwest and closer to her family in Alaska. Staying connected with family and friends rejuvenates Shana. She loves hiking and gardening. She also enjoys traveling and learning about the culture and cuisine of each destination that she visits. Craft projects and sewing are her creative outlets that also help her recharge.
