Hi, I’m Jenn.
I’m Jenn Banks, a family nurse practitioner and the founder of Familiar Primary Care in Spokane. I’m especially passionate about supporting people with disordered eating and making primary care weight-neutral, trauma-informed, and attentive to the whole person. I’m certified in menopause care and wound care.
I started Familiar because I want the person in front of me to feel like more than a diagnosis or a checklist. Your questions, priorities, and real life belong in the conversation.
Outside the clinic, I’m usually reading, tending to my houseplants, spending time with my cats and family, or making something. I enjoy sewing, knitting, and crocheting. There’s always room for one more project, even if there’s less room for another basket of yarn. I also believe in showing up for our community by participating in local mutual aid.
A different kind of primary care is taking shape.
Familiar is built around care that starts with listening. My approach is evidence-based, weight-neutral, trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, and queer-affirming. Longer appointments and a smaller patient panel give us time for your questions, your priorities, and decisions we make together.
