About
Zoe Lehman
"I grew up in Berkeley, California, spoiled by beautiful produce, redwoods, hills and a temperate climate. Excited by the architecture and urbanity, I moved to Chicago for my undergraduate degree at University of Chicago and began preaching the “in California” gospel immediately on arrival. Working my way through school I taught language arts to 3rd graders, sex ed to 9th graders, made fancy coffee drinks at a local cafe, and volunteered at a needle exchange. After graduating, I continued as an outreach worker and then case manager for an organization focusing on the psychosocial support of women living with HIV. After a few very impactful years, I shifted from HIV care to HIV prevention and I wound my way back to the San Francisco Department of Public Health and PrEP research prior to entertaining the idea of going to medical school. After completing a post bacc, a little more teaching time, and getting some experience coordinating research studies and running flow cytometry, I started medical school at Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine just north of the Bay Area. In medical school I found that I loved adult inpatient medicine, pediatrics, newborn care, palliative care and everything in between. Family Medicine is the perfect fit for me, a specialty where I can continue working with folks at all stages of life, people struggling with addiction, and full spectrum reproductive health for people of all gender identities. After meeting my partner (a Bremerton native) at a Women in Medicine conference, I had the pleasure of exploring Seattle and the Kitsap peninsula with her. I was delighted to find an abundance of ferns and flowers, mountains, delicious food and even some sunshine! When we’re not tromping around in the woods, we can be found planning future dinner parties and playing with glitter. I am so excited to be joining the First Hill community; brimming with activism, humanism, humor and incredibly compassionate and intelligent people."
