The Washington State Department of Health has taken disciplinary actions against several health care providers. In Benton County, Travis Lee Burris had his home care aide application denied due to a conviction for third-degree theft. Clallam County’s Garrett Matthew Leffers, a certified medical assistant, faces charges of unprofessional conduct for allegedly submitting false information during his licensure application. In Pierce County, Tarae Ann Blackmon, an agency affiliated counselor, is charged with unprofessional conduct for improperly supervising substance use disorder professional trainees without meeting education requirements. Lastly, Michael Murphy in Thurston County had his home care aide application denied following multiple convictions for domestic violence-related offenses. Health care providers charged with unprofessional conduct have 20 days to respond to the Department of Health, after which the case enters a settlement process or may proceed to a hearing if no agreement is reached.
