After college, she worked as a caregiver for adults with developmental disabilities and as a scribe in the Skagit Valley Hospital emergency department.

Adam Aloe Casey, DO
Rural Training Program

Hi! My name is Aloe (he/they). I spent my early childhood in rural communities across the Choctaw Nation/Oklahoma and Texas, later moving to various places across the country. These experiences nurtured a deep respect for people and their cultures, eventually leading me to study cultural anthropology at Reed College in Portland, OR. While preparing for medical school, I worked as a wilderness guide, community safety officer, and clinical laboratory specialist. I attended the A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona, and completed much of my clinical training in Brooklyn, NY.

I am drawn to full-spectrum family medicine with a focus on holistic, community-centered care rooted in healing justice. My philosophy as a physician is shaped by my experience as a wilderness guide—supporting and guiding others as they navigate their unique paths toward healing. As a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, I practice osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and may offer it to patients as a supplemental therapy. Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time outdoors, making music, and learning new skills (often through YouTube deep-dives). I am excited to join an amazing team of physicians in providing compassionate, high-quality care to all members of our communities.

Angelina Liu, MD
Cherry Hill

Angie (she/her) was born and raised in chilly northeast China. As a child, she immigrated to the U.S. with her family, initially living in North Carolina before finally settling down in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her immigrant background exposed her to the unique challenges faced by minority communities and strengthened her resolve to empower and advocate for vulnerable populations. She completed her undergraduate degree in biology at the University of Utah and went on to attend the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine at the University of Utah. Angie discovered her passion for family medicine through her work with refugee and immigrant populations, where she recognized the importance of culturally responsive care and the power of building trusting, long-term relationships with patients and communities.

Angie is especially passionate about collaborating with patients and their families to reach their health goals utilizing a lens of radical hospitality and health equity. She believes in meeting people where they are and strives to create a welcoming, inclusive space for all. She is particularly drawn to work that blends clinical practice with advocacy, education, and systems-level change to improve health outcomes for underserved populations around the world. Her clinical interests include global health, LGBTQIA+ health, reproductive health, addiction medicine, and community medicine.

Outside of the hospital, Angie enjoys discovering new local restaurants, working on jigsaw puzzles, and getting lost in a good book. She’s always looking for her next great read. Recommendations welcome!

Ashvini Vaidya, MD, M.Sc.
Seattle Indian Health Board

Ashvini Vaidya (she/her) was born and raised in Northern New Mexico, shaped by the vibrant presence of Hispanic, Latinx, and Indigenous communities. As the daughter of Indian immigrants, she found a deep connection to her own heritage through Kathak, a classical Indian dance form she continues to practice today.

She earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at the University of New Mexico, later working in a vaccine research lab focused on gonorrhea while also tutoring children at a local school. These early experiences deepened her commitment to public health and community engagement.

Ashvini went on to study medicine at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where she spent much of her clinical time at Grady Memorial Hospital—one of the largest safety-net hospitals in the country. Her patients there challenged her to reflect on the limits of Western medicine and its accessibility. While in Atlanta, she worked with the Intimate Partner Violence Initiative, supporting survivors through expanded access to critical resources, and spent several years conducting research alongside Dr. Lauren Collins, investigating geographic disparities in PrEP use and HIV prevalence by gender.

One of the most formative moments in her medical training came during a rotation at the Zuni Comprehensive Community Health Center, located on the Zuni Pueblo in western New Mexico. Delivering a baby, suturing a head wound, and treating a child with a cold—all in a single day—solidified her passion for family medicine. More importantly, the rotation deepened her connection to the elders, women, and children of an Indigenous community she holds close to heart.

Now, Ashvini is eager to learn from and work alongside the Native communities of the Pacific Northwest through her residency with the Seattle Indian Health Board. She brings with her a strong interest in reproductive health and family planning, particularly for adolescents and young adults.

In her free time, Ashvini tends to over 20 houseplants, lifts weights, and ambitiously attempts to complete 1000-piece puzzles in under a week.

Gillian Xu, DO
International Community Health Services

Gillian (she/her) was born and raised in San Jose, California. At UC Berkeley, Gillian found her calling in medicine through her work as a Cantonese labor coach, supporting new immigrant mothers from their last gestational month through postpartum. As a first-generation college student raised by immigrant parents, she understood how patients relied heavily on culturally and language-concordant care to navigate the complex healthcare system. After college, Gillian continued serving marginalized communities through her work at a Chinatown-based FQHC in Oakland, California. Her experiences have shaped her holistic approach to compassionate, accessible care rooted in health equity, cultural humility, and long-term patient relationships. During her time at A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona (ATSU-SOMA), she continued to be a fierce advocate for her communities. Gillian is grateful to continue her passion for community-based care at ICHS and grow as a physician alongside her brilliant co-residents.

Her clinical interests include full-spectrum reproductive care, addiction medicine, procedures, caring for immigrant and refugee families, and providing a safe space for any patient that walks into the clinic or hospital. Outside of medicine, Gillian is often found at the badminton/climbing gym, in the dance studio, or exploring new hiking trails and food spots. She loves exercising her creativity through board games, crafting custom gifts, cooking a homemade feast, or planning themed gatherings for friends.
