Profile: Dr. Steven Ratcliffe
Project Access Northwest is an easy way to give back
Dr. Steven Ratcliffe is an orthopedic surgeon with a focus on hip and knee reconstruction. He is one of the founding physicians of Proliance Orthopedics & Sports Medicine. He first learned about Project Access when a patient approached his nurse, Chareen Jackson (pictured with Dr. Ratcliffe).
“I would tell other physicians that this program is very well organized, making it easy to give great care because patient preparation and administrative details are complete in advance. Physicians can take on as many patients as desired; it is no burden whatsoever. Project Access Northwest is a wonderful way to give something back by helping those who otherwise could not obtain medical care. Every patient is very appreciative of everything I’ve done. It’s one of the most gratifying services I have had the privilege of providing.”
