Additional Details
Member Plus Family Health is a unique and personal health care practice limited to a small number of families on and around Bainbridge Island.
The practice was founded by Dr. Gregory E. Keyes, an esteemed family physician in the Pacific Northwest, who practiced on Bainbridge Island for over 25 years before retiring in 2017. Dr. Blain Crandell joined the practice in 2013, bringing his wide-ranging perspective earned by a medical practice in rural Washington and New Zealand, as well as in Kitsap County.
The “member-based” approach draws on the best of traditional, personalized medicine combined with the convenience of modern communication tools to bring patients greater access to doctors, a highly-skilled support team and individual medical information 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The practice is centered on building long-term, personal relationships with patients that afford more meaningful dialogue about personal health issues and foster a greater understanding of how to optimize health and wellness on an ongoing basis. By taking the time to closely track patient healthcare conditions and create a plan for reaching personal health goals, Member Plus Family Health serves to ensure greater quality and continuity of care.
To provide for extra-flexibility in scheduling, 24/7 access to the physician, and longer appointments—in addition to more personalized care—Member Plus Family Health introduced the concept of a monthly membership fee. The membership is designed to be affordable to most individuals and families. Get-acquainted visits do not require membership.
Context is important, and Family Medicine takes the whole family into account when making diagnoses and discussing treatment options. Parents will also appreciate the availability of their own doctor after hours to answer questions and provide care.
Member Plus Family Health has introduced a secure electronic patient portal called Elation Passport to provide for two-way communication between patient and doctor, as well as access to lab test results and other documents the doctor may wish to message you about. Have a question about your health or need to arrange a prescription refill? Access to Elation Passport and Member Plus is as close as your nearest desktop PC, tablet or iOS smartphone. Now you can interact with Member Plus while you’re on the go, on the ferry, or on vacation, around the clock, around the island, and around the world.
