Suquamish Tribe

Kernan

The Suquamish Tribe announced that Dr. Casey Kernan is the latest physician to join the professional team at the Healing House, the tribe's health clinic serving Suquamish families, other American Indians and Alaska Natives, and families across Kitsap County. Kernan completed his undergraduate studies at Oregon State University, and earned his medical degree at Kansas City University. After completing his residency at Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, Kernan launched a small clinic in East Bremerton during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he cared for people at all stages of life, with a special focus on the needs of LGBTQIA patients. Kernan joins Dr. Kristine Ewing, medical director at Healing House, and a board-certified family physician, and Dr. Alex Kraft, a naturopathic doctor and acupuncturist. Healing House focuses on providing high-quality, culturally appropriate care to underserved communities, including tribal families and those on Medicaid. The Healing House's “integrative” approach means patients can access conventional treatment along with naturopathic care, nutritional guidance, herbal medicine, and acupuncture at the same facility. The Tribe's health clinic staff collaborate closely with the Tribe's community health team and with the Suquamish Wellness Center, which offers mental health counseling and treatment for substance abuse disorders.
