While at PeaceHealth Medical Group in Longview, Washington, Dr. Reardon developed a highly successful program to facilitate medication refills for chronic pain patients. She was also Physician Lead for the Access Project, which provided better access to primary care in the region.

Additionally Dr. Reardon was instrumental in instituting a collaborative process called the Care Team Huddle. She and her medical assistant became a model for other providers and co-developed an informational video on the process.

As an advocate for physician health, Dr. Reardon has more than 15 years of demonstrated leadership assisting other physicians with wellness and career satisfaction. Her three-phase approach to this work is centered on establishing greater connection with their patients, serving the heartfelt mission of the healer within, and offering inspiration and clinical solutions to system-wide change in the medical profession.
