Lucca Criminale, PA-C

Lucca Criminale, PA-C has been caring for patients at Cascade Medical since 2009. A graduate of the MEDEX Northwest Physician Assistant Program (Seattle Class 39), she provides care in family medicine.

With experience caring for patients across all stages of life, Lucca enjoys the variety that comes with practicing in a rural healthcare setting. From preventive care and chronic disease management to urgent and emergency medical needs, she is committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care close to home. 

"I have been working at Cascade Medical since 2009, doing a combination of family practice, emergency medicine, and inpatient care at a small Critical Access Hospital," Lucca says. "This combination is challenging and varied, two of my favorite things about my job." 

In addition to caring for patients, Lucca enjoys helping train the next generation of healthcare providers through clinical rotations for physician assistant and medical students. 

When she's not at work, you'll likely find her outdoors. "In my free time I go outside!" she says. Her favorite local activities include trail running, skiing, and stand-up paddleboarding, especially with her husband, Bill.
