Courtney Smith PA-C
Courtney Smith PA-C is the owner of Grand Primary Care in Grandville Michigan. Courtney has been practicing family medicine for over 10 years. She completed her bachelor's and master's degrees from Grand Valley State University, and she is a Diplomate of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. In addition to clinical practice, Courtney is passionate about advocating for the physician associate (PA) profession, and has volunteered her time with the Michigan Academy of Physician Associates (MAPA) and the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) in various capacities.
Courtney opened Grand Primary Care because she observed that the standard healthcare delivery system is often inconvenient and inadequate for patients. She’s on a mission to optimize primary care in a manner that provides the kind of care that today’s busy and informed public wants and deserves.
When Courtney isn’t practicing medicine you will likely find her spending time with her family, reading, and trying out new recipes. She enjoys listening to podcasts like It's A Good Life, The Pinnacle Prescription, and Acquired.
