Matt Stein

MD Board of Managers

Matt grew up in New Hampshire and earned his medical degree at Tufts University. He completed his residency at Madigan Army Medical Center and served seven years in the U.S. Army, including a combat deployment. His clinical interests include geriatrics, palliative care, and quality improvement. He and his family returned to Washington in 2023, choosing Olympia for its public schools and for ocean, mountains, snow, and an airport within 90 minutes. At home are two young children and a less-young dog named Adderall. Matt runs to the extent his knees allow, cooks to the extent his wife allows, and plays nerdy board games to the extent his schedule allows. He chose community medicine to practice at the top of his license and for the relationships he shares with consultants.

Cady earned her medical degree at Loma Linda University School of Medicine and completed her emergency medicine residency at Marietta Memorial Hospital in Marietta, Ohio. Originally from just outside Toronto, Ontario, she has come to love the Pacific Northwest, especially the lakes close enough for a paddleboard after a shift. Outside the department, she stays active through volleyball, CrossFit, and running. Cady appreciates working with a small, close-knit emergency medicine group. The personal, supportive environment makes each shift feel collaborative, and she values the strong sense of connection within the team and the community they serve.

Charles Rodarmor

MD

Charles grew up in Newport, Rhode Island, where his parents still live. He graduated from the United States Military Academy and served as an infantry officer, with assignments as a platoon leader in Iraq, a Ranger School instructor, and a dive officer. That service turned him toward medicine, and work as an EMT trauma technician in Boulder, Colorado, sent him to medical school. He completed his emergency medicine residency at Ascension Macomb-Oakland Hospital outside Detroit. Outside the department, Charles follows live music, climbs, dives, trail runs, and explores the outdoors with his wife and their two dogs. He values the group for the support its members give one another, on shift and off.

Kristen Larsen

MD

Kristen earned her medical degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and completed her emergency medicine residency at the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine. The Pacific Northwest drew her in with towering evergreens, deep forests, chanterelle season, abundant salmon, and steady rain, and she has come to appreciate the region's natural rhythm. Outside of medicine, she spends her time foraging, hiking, camping, and tending her garden. Kristen values the camaraderie within the group, the strong support from administration, and the welcoming small-town feel of Olympia — all of which make caring for this community especially meaningful.

Woody is a board-certified emergency physician and partner with Olympia Emergency Care Physicians, practicing at both MultiCare Capital Medical Center and the Lacey off-campus Emergency Department. He completed medical school and residency at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin, finishing in 2023. His clinical interests center on critical care and point-of-care ultrasound. An avid hiker and paddler, he has finished the Texas Water Safari, a 260-mile nonstop canoe race, several times. What drew him to OECP was the people — after a larger academic center, he found a group where physicians, APPs, and nurses enjoy working together and feel connected to the community.

Alan grew up in small-town Northern California, where he discovered prehospital medicine as an undergraduate EMT. He commissioned into the Army, trained at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, and completed his emergency medicine residency at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. His final active-duty assignment brought him full circle — training the Army's paramedics — and deepened his interest in operational and tactical care. Outside of medicine, he runs, hikes, cooks with his spouse, and unwinds with audiobooks and games. Having lived all over, he appreciates the Pacific Northwest for its rain, greenery, and time outdoors with family. He values the dynamics of a small group and the close-knit community it serves.

Douglas earned his PA degree from the University of Texas Medical Branch. A Texas native, he came to medicine as a second career after working in finance — a background that shapes his interest in emergency department flow, efficiency, and patient experience. He thrives in the fast pace of the ED and in working alongside colleagues to deliver high-quality, timely care. Outside of work, Douglas hikes, golfs, plays guitar, and stays active in the gym. Pacific Northwest summers are his favorite — the outdoor options are endless. He values being part of a young, energetic, close-knit group where teamwork and a shared commitment to patients make the work rewarding.
