Dr. Miriam Agisim chose family medicine because of the deep, ongoing relationships it allows her to build with patients, from birth through adulthood. “It’s so special to care for entire families,” she shares. “I might provide prenatal care for a mother, then continue seeing both her and her baby, and also be dad’s doctor too.” For her, strong patient relationships are key to providing quality care.

She was drawn to Virginia Garcia because of its mission and values. “Health care should be accessible to everyone,” she says. “I love that Virginia Garcia is embedded in the communities it serves and offers mobile care to reach more people.”

Outside of work, Dr. Agisim enjoys exploring the Pacific Northwest with her husband and young son. Whether biking, hiking, visiting local parks, or enjoying farmers markets and festivals, she values time spent outdoors. A former yoga teacher, she brings a calm, balanced approach to her practice and encourages her patients to stay active, soak up fresh air, and take time to care for their overall well-being.
