Severine “Sevy” Basham, PA-C
Severine Basham PA-C grew up in the small village of Ninilchik, Alaska with a population of less than 1000. This is where she grew to love the great outdoors, spending the summers fishing and then working at the local cannery. She later attended Florida Southern College and graduated with a degree in biology. Her first jobs included work as a skills trainer with children with autism, a physical therapy assistant, and a health aide at the local native health clinic, before she decided to return to school to become a Physician Assistant.
She received her Physician Assistant degree from University of Washington in 2007. She started her career in Dutch Harbor, AK on the Aleutian chain in a stand-alone health center that served everyone on the island, with a hospital that was 4 hours away by flight (if they could land on the difficult runway). She was in charge of outreach programs and public events that included visiting ships, fish processing plants, and the Care Center. She was also the Wellness Coordinator for the clinic.
After gaining a lot of clinical experience in Alaska, she went to work on the island of Saipan, a United States territory in the western Pacific. There she worked in a private clinic caring for patients of all ages. She also had an opportunity to go on a Mission Trip to Kenya for 2 weeks in 2016, and has always had a passion for service in international and underserved settings.
She moved to Libby in 2014 and joined the Libby Clinic. She loves family practice, and see patients of all ages. She values patient education, and focuses a lot of her time during visits on making sure her patients understand their ailments.
Severeine loves spending time with her family. She enjoys the outdoors, camping, swimming, and being out on the water. She also loves traveling, culture, and taking pictures of her many local and international adventures.
