This February, after 30 years of practicing medicine, including two decades at Sky Lakes, Dr. Niskanen will retire from his role as Chief Quality Officer, leaving a legacy that has transformed how the hospital delivers care and educates physicians.
Before signing off, Dr. Niskanen emphasizes: “Sky Lakes Medical Center is a phenomenal institution. The Cascades East Family Medicine Residency has some of the best, brightest young doctors I’ve met. I think that’s why the quality and care we give here is so much better than almost any other hospital I’ve been in.”
Thank you Dr. Niskanen for your longstanding dedication to the health and wellbeing of our community.
