Bio

Parker Brown, DO (he/him/his) joined DFMCH as a resident in 2024. Parker is from Portland, OR and earned his bachelor’s degree in general science from the University of Oregon. While an undergraduate student, he worked as an HIV and HCV testing technician and counselor at The HIV Alliance. His time with The HIV Alliance is what drew him to be a physician and what taught him the importance of providing compassionate, nonjudgmental care. He also was a certified nurse assistant in long-term care and post-acute rehabilitation facilities. These experiences reinforced the importance of building trusting, long-term relationships with his patients. He attended the Kansas City University College of Osteopathic Medicine. While in medical school, he volunteered with Counseling and Testing Services (CATS) at KC Care, a community clinic in Kansas City. This role further solidified his interest in full-spectrum family medicine, addiction medicine, HIV and HCV medicine, and gender-affirming care. His goal is to provide comprehensive primary care for all patients, with a special focus on working with patients with substance use disorders. Outside of medicine, Parker enjoys making ceramics and pottery, cheering for the Oregon Ducks football team, and exploring the great outdoors by hiking and camping.
