HISTORY
Dr. Kirstein started her medical practice in West Jordan in 1981 at the Holy Cross Hospital owned clinic. In 1982 she started her independent practice near 2700 West and 90th South. Dr. Kirstein formally created Jordan Valley Family Health in 1984 when she built a small office building directly north of the newly built Jordan Valley Hospital and invited Nurse Practitioner, Michelle King, to join her.

By 1994 the practice had easily outgrown the former location, so we relocated to our current space. Since that time the medical staff grew to 5 family doctors, 4 pediatricians, 5 family nurse practitioners and 1 physician assistant. In 2002 the changes in healthcare economics required us to down size to our current 5 family doctors, 3 family nurse practitioners and 1 physician. Our patients come from far and wide, traveling from southwest Wyoming, eastern Nevada and throughout Utah to receive care at our clinic.

PHILOSOPHY
We believe that educating you about your body and its ailments allows for you and your health care provider to work more closely as a team to reach healthier outcomes. We limit the number of patients seen per day so that we can spend the quality time necessary with each patient to really listen to and consider each of their concerns. Family Practice focuses on the family unit and the importance that each family member has in the healing process of a family member.

AWARDS

The proof in our philosophy.

In 2004 Intermountain Health Care awarded Jordan Valley Family Health three quality care citations for, diabetic management, breast cancer screening [mammography] and colorectal cancer screening (colonoscopies). Jordan Valley Family Health was the only clinic to receive three citations in one year, including both IHC owned and contracted independent clinics, such as JVFH.
