From a very early age, Dr. John D. Swift and Dr. Karen L. Miller recognized the human illness and disease around them. They wanted desperately to help those people who were physically sick, but they also wanted to know how to keep them - and themselves - healthy. Today, their mission is the same. Dr. Swift and Dr. Miller's emphasis in medicine has always been about prevention. Data from many years of medical research has shown that we can largely control our own destinies by the way we eat, sleep and exercise. Our diet, for example, controls our risks of getting many cancers, congestive heart failure, heart attack, heart diseases, stroke and even dementia. Proper diet, being physically active and getting enough quality sleep can help save your life. Instead of focusing all or most of their attention on a few common medical conditions, they focus on the patient and patient's particular health problem, and finding the best possible solution. They invest time with each patient, hearing their concerns, answering their questions and caring for them like their extended family - just as they have done for so many people of all ages in Bremerton, Belfair, Seabeck, Silverdale, Port Orchard and the surrounding communities.
