Seattle, Wash. (PRWEB) August 29, 2017 -- Paladina Health LLC and Brown & Haley announced Aug. 1 an alliance to offer an innovative direct primary care (DPC) option for their employees and families in Tacoma, Wash.

Established in 1914, Tacoma-based Brown & Haley is a manufacturer of various high-quality confections including Almond Roca®, Mountain Thins®, and Mountain Bars®.
Employees of Brown & Haley will have access to Paladina Health doctor’s offices in Tacoma and Puyallup with the opportunity to select from four Paladina Health doctors including Yuri Lee, MD, Roxanne Ho, MD, Stephen Cook, MD, and Kelly DeMeyere-Coursey, MD. Dr. Ho, a former Qliance physician of over six years, joined Paladina Health’s medical team July 24, 2017. She was voted “Tacoma’s Best Medical Professional” in 2014 by Tacoma Weekly.
