Biography
Dr. Kim Perttu joined Grant Regional Community Clinic in September 2020. She is board certified In Family Medicine.
Dr. Kim Perttu is an experienced physician who specializes in family medicine and obstetrics, with a strong focus on prevention and wellness. She is looking forward to meeting new families, caring for patients of all ages and enjoys bringing little ones into the world.
"I enjoy the variety of patients I see in a family medicine setting. I place an important emphasis on the preventive aspects of medicine, and I am one to encourage the basics (nutrition, physical activity, and mental well-being). I believe in empowering my patients to achieve greater health. I enjoy getting to know my patients on a personal level and by doing so; I can really form a strong connection and build their trust. When we work together as a team to meet their healthcare needs, it's much more successful. And that really makes all the difference," she explains. "Obstetric care is a special calling. I feel privileged and overjoyed that I can help bring a new life into world. To me, there's no greater gift."
Dr. Kim Perttu earned a degree in biomedical sciences in 2005 from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, PA, where she received her degree in osteopathic medicine in 2009. She completed her residency through the Marquette General Family Medicine Residency program in 2012. She is a member of the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Family Practitioners and the American College of Osteopathic Family Practitioners. Dr. Perttu has practiced at Oaklawn Medical Group-Tekonsha Family Medicine and most recently at Essentia Health in Hayward, Wisconsin. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family – husband and two sons, cycling, running, gardening, and cooking.
What made you choose a career in healthcare? I enjoyed the science of medicine and the opportunity to educate and get to know families.
