Josh Colley, PA-C
Physician Assistant
Joshua Colley was inspired to enter medicine by his mother, an emergency room nurse and volunteer with the local fire department. He started riding along on calls as a young adult and saw firsthand how she was able to help people.
Now an urgent care physician assistant, Joshua delights in being able to care for patients of all ages. He enjoys teaching people about their conditions, tending to their injuries, and giving them a plan to feel better.
Before joining Vancouver Clinic, Joshua spent a significant part of his career caring for underserved individuals: first as a primary care provider at a community health clinic in Arizona, then as a lead physician assistant at Cascade Emergency Associates in Longview, Washington. In the Longview emergency room, he frequently helped individuals experiencing homelessness and battling drug dependence.
Joshua earned a bachelor of science in biology at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. He completed a master of medical science in physician assistant studies at Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona.
In his free time, Joshua enjoys hiking in the Columbia River Gorge and playing disc golf. He also plays the guitar and listens to everything from electronic to folk music. His superpower is always being able to find the remote.
