Christine Baldwin, PA-C
Physician Assistant • She/Her
I am originally from a tiny mountain town in Northern California but have been all over the place in the last decade- was stationed in Georgia while in the Army, lived among the redwoods and coast even further up in California (Humboldt), went to PA school in Seattle (UW) and have finally have put my roots down here in Vancouver, WA. I live with my husband, our silly toddler and our even sillier set of animals- Chocolate lab, dachshund and a cat named Bruno- (but we don't talk about him!). I love spending time outdoors (rain or shine!), but am also a sucker for curling up with a good book or getting lost in a puzzle or some arts and crafts!

Why I love working with kids
Before working in pediatrics I found the pediatric patients were always the highlights of my day! Kids are just so amazing at turning a bad day around. Since becoming a parent, I enjoy pediatrics even more because I can relate to parents and their struggles and am always happy to give advice parent-to-parent or just lend an ear for (much-needed) vents.

Why I chose to work in medicine
I come from a family of RN's so I have always been excited about medicine. I feel as though medicine is one of the best, most rewarding careers in which I can make a huge impact in people's lives- especially when it comes to pediatric medicine!
