Blake Brookshire, MD

One of the great delights of primary care is accompanying someone through the care continuum, then building a health partnership with that patient through a long-term relationship. I love how my role involves equal parts preventionist and interventionist.

Why Family Medicine? One of the great delights of primary care is accompanying someone through the care continuum, then building a health partnership with that patient through a long-term relationship. I love how my role involves equal parts preventionist and interventionist.  Also, we have the best patients.

Before Medical School: I was involved in aviation.

I enjoy: My wife, Mollie, and I look forward to exploring the region’s parks and trails together. I also enjoy guitar, swimming, cooking, reading and making my two boys laugh.
