Kendall Jones, MD

University of Washington School of Medicine. Growing up in Seattle, WA, Kendall decided to become a doctor when she was in 6th grade after participating in a school project where she learned about the immune system. Her motivation to become a physician was quickly oriented around her passion for learning people’s stories and doing what she could to support others. She was privileged to begin learning about activism and social justice starting in middle school, and these continue to be important lenses through which she sees the world. Knowing that inequality and injustice are pervasive in society and have a major impact on

people’s health, she strives to deliver patient-centered care and advocate for her patients and community both in and out of the healthcare setting.
Before medical school, Kendall spent an impactful year as a Jesuit Volunteer Corps member serving at Idaho’s inaugural Housing First program in Boise. There, Kendall loved working with her team to support the residents who faced the daily challenges of trauma, addiction, and mental and physical illness while adjusting to living in an apartment of their own. During medical school, Kendall had the privilege to spend a month on the Blackfeet reservation in Montana where she was grateful to be welcomed by the community, learn at the IHS hospital and collaborate with community organizations to create and distribute culturally relevant nutrition education.
Kendall is thrilled to be venturing south to Santa Rosa for residency at a mission-driven program renowned for training phenomenal full-spectrum family physicians. In undergrad, Kendall danced on the competition salsa team Los Salseros de Stanford, and when she has free time, you may catch Kendall dancing, enjoying live music, and soaking in sun and nature.
