Jill Wooldridge, PA-C
Education: University of Wisconsin, Madison, 1991
Credentials: MN State license, National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) Certified
About Myself: I split my time at Boynton between Primary Care, Gopher Quick Clinic, and working on the Electronic Medical Record team. This diversity keeps my job interesting and also allows me to get multiple different perspectives on health care and its delivery. In primary care, I enjoy all aspect of family practice, women's health and I also do a fair amount of dermatology. I believe patient education is an integral part of quality health care. It enables the patient to become more involved in decision making regarding their health and well-being. In Gopher Quick Clinic I like being able to help patients efficiently, when they need it, while still delivering quality care. I also oversee some management aspects of the GQC. With the EMR part of my job, I enjoy being a liason between the clinical and technical side of healthcare, making sure our EMR system serves our providers as best as it can.
