About Sean McHugh

About The Provider

Physician associate Sean McHugh, PA-C, wants his patients and their families to be active participants in their healthcare. He seeks to be a patient advocate and resource. He provides safe, evidence-based, collaborative care, including for chronic disease management, acute care, and preventive medicine.

Sean likes working with all ages and backgrounds. He enjoys helping patients create care plans that consider their unique expectations and experiences, as well as cost.

After graduating from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Sean worked as a nursing assistant and clinical research coordinator. He then went to Idaho State University, where he completed his Master of Physician Associate Studies. While there, he managed and treated acute and chronic diseases, developed holistic treatment plans for low-income patients without health insurance, and completed rotations like emergency medicine, family medicine and pediatrics.

Sean fell in love with the Gorge during trips to visit family with his wife, who also works at Adventist Health Columbia Gorge. After finishing school, the couple decided to make the Gorge their home. In his spare time, Sean enjoys playing music, watching Gonzaga basketball and Seahawks football, and spending time with his wife and their two dogs. He also likes to camp, hike, and ski.

    If I didn't already have a pcp in the office, I'd switch to him. As is, I appreciate that the providers back each other up and see each others patients. Whole team knows their stuff.

    Sean was wonderful. He listened, then showed me via computer monitor the anatomy of a shoulder of what could be happening. We discussed treatment options and at least three paths forward. We agreed on one and off I went for an X-ray.
