POLSON — St. Luke Community Healthcare is thrilled to announce that Dr. Christina Marchion, a board-certified family medicine physician with obstetrics, is joining the team at St. Luke Community Clinic – Southshore in Polson. Dr. Marchion brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to comprehensive, patient-centered care.
Dr. Marchion grew up in Anaconda where her parents instilled in her a strong sense of community and service. Her journey into medicine began with a passion for science and a desire to build human connections, which she cultivated while earning her undergraduate degrees in Biology and Spanish at Carroll College. She went on to complete her medical degree at the University of Washington School Of Medicine, followed by residency training with a focus on rural family medicine in Idaho. She further honed her expertise through an obstetrics fellowship at Providence Family Medicine Residency in Spokane.
Dr. Marchion’s professional interests include women’s health, pediatrics, preventative care, and rural medicine. She is also an advocate for youth suicide prevention and HIV primary care and enjoys mentoring medical students and residents. Her holistic approach to healthcare emphasizes empowering patients to make informed decisions and achieve their wellness goals. “Few places have left such a lasting impression on my soul as the Mission Mountains,” said Dr. Marchion. “I am honored to join St. Luke’s team and serve the Mission Valley community, where I can blend my passion for medicine with my commitment to family and community care.”
Dr. Marchion’s dedication to rural healthcare is evident in her extensive experience serving underserved populations. She has provided obstetric care as the sole physician within a 110-mile radius and chaired an Infection Control Committee early in her career. Her empathetic, multidisciplinary approach helps families navigate healthcare complexities with confidence. When not practicing medicine, Dr. Marchion enjoys spending time with her husband and four young children, exploring the outdoors, and cultivating her vegetable garden. She is an avid reader and advocates for inclusivity and diversity, values she seeks to instill in her children.
Dr. Marchion is accepting new patients at St. Luke Community Clinic – Southshore, located at 104 Rufus Lane in Polson. To schedule an appointment, call (406) 883-2555.
