Doctor of Medicine
Johns Hopkins ’14. Distinction in clinical reasoning. Still references the chronic-disease elective that shaped her practice.
About Lina
Trained at Hopkins. Raised at MGH. Yours for the Long Run.
Lina trained at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, completed internal medicine residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, and spent five years as a primary care attending at MGH before opening Halverson Direct Primary Care in 2023. If you want the calm one in the room, that’s her.

The Path
From Residency Notes to a Real Medical Home
IM Residency, MGH
Three years of internal medicine residency at Massachusetts General Hospital. Chief resident year focused on outpatient continuity.
Primary Care Attending
Five years on the MGH primary care faculty. Built her own panel of ~1,800 patients and quietly piloted longer-visit workflows.
Founded Halverson DPC
Opened a small Cambridge direct primary care practice with a 200-household cap and a deliberately analog rhythm.
Boards, Memberships & Standards
Lina is board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, a member of the DPC Alliance, and a Massachusetts Medical Society fellow. All clinical work is conducted under her Massachusetts medical license, MD-262541, and Halverson Direct Primary Care PLLC carries professional liability coverage of $1M / $3M.
DPC Alliance “Practice of the Year” Finalist
Recognized for documented patient-reported outcomes and the lowest median appointment-wait time in the New England DPC cohort.
Clockless “Built With Care” Partner
Selected partner for Clockless’s concierge-physician program, serving multi-specialty households who want a real quarterback for their care.
The Halverson Care Team
A small, deliberately low-roster practice. Lina sees every member personally, and is backed by a small care team for the slow, important parts — nursing, coordination, pharmacy, and longitudinal coaching.

How I Practice
01
No Rush
Nobody recovers their health in seven minutes. Lina’s intakes, follow-ups, and check-ins are paced for the years that real continuity actually takes.
02
Everything in One Portal
Each member gets a private dashboard with their care plan, records, schedule, and messages — so nothing lives in a lost MyChart inbox.
03
Read Before You Ask
Lina reads every discharge summary, specialist note, and lab result herself. You get a plain-English summary before your next visit.

Whether you’re between primary care doctors or just tired of the seven-minute visit, it starts with a conversation.
