About Keith Lemay, PA-C
Keith is an experienced PA, earning his Master of Medical Science, Physician Assistant Studies from Midwestern University in 2011. “Being a PA is a fantastic, rewarding career,” says Keith. “You’re constantly growing as a PA as medicine is ever-changing.” Keith says he most enjoys the interactions with patients which make up a significant part of his work. Seeing a PA can be highly beneficial for patients. “You get all of your healthcare screening done. There may be something wrong that you didn’t know about,” he says.
Keith comes to Carson Valley Health following a locum position in orthopedic sports medicine at Barton in South Lake Tahoe. Prior to that, he spent four years at Seattle Children’s Hospital. His background in internal medicine saw him diagnosing a wide variety of conditions. This experience has set him up well as a seasoned provider who will go the extra-mile to get a correct diagnosis.
“The culture of Carson Valley Health is what I love most about this organization,” he says. “All the people here are really interested in helping out and improving the health of the local community,” says Keith. “Everyone I’ve met has worked here for quite a while and they’re really happy here,” he says.
Keith’s favorite part of senior care is that it’s a unique stage of life. “You get to work with patients on their individual goals and help them to maximize their lives,” he says. “For example, you might work on reducing the amount of medication that they’re on.”
Keith is looking forward to working with the team at Carson Valley Health. “I feel very honored to have the support of very talented physicians in this community to make sure that our patients get the best care possible,” he says.
Outside of work, Keith’s go-to hobby is running. He was on the team at Western Washington University where he achieved All-American Honors in the 800-meter dash. He enjoys hiking and mountain climbing and has summited all five volcanoes in Washington.
