Family medicine is a medical specialty devoted to comprehensive health care for people of all ages. The specialist is called a family physician or family doctor. A family physician is often the first person a patient sees when seeking healthcare services. They examine and treat patients with a wide range of conditions and refer those with serious ailments to a specialist or appropriate facility.
On a more personal note, she and her husband have two daughters, Paisley and Emmy, who consume so much of their love and time. They both grew up raising cattle, so to carry on this tradition of instilling farm life responsibility, they have begun raising cattle with their daughters. The current family farm has goats and ponies running around for some extra family fun. An avid softball player, she enjoys staying active and loves hiking the beautiful Black Hills with her family. She can often be found hunting or shooting her bow or fishing with her daughters. She has also developed a love for gardening, and has a large, beautiful flower garden and delicious veggie garden.
