She earned her medical degree at the University of Louisville School of Medicine and completed her Family Medicine Residency at St. Mary’s Family Medicine Residency in Grand Junction, CO.

Dr. Jackson graduated from the University of South Alabama and then attended the University of Louisville for his medical residency in Internal Medicine. Dr. Jackson spent almost his entire career at the Family Health Centers, joining the nonprofit medical center in January of 1993 as a full-time Adult Primary Care physician. “I initially joined FHC because I thought I could spend a few months at FHC while I decided the right fit for me in medicine,” stated Dr. Jackson. “The experience of being there for people who otherwise would not have access to quality care grew on me, and before I knew it I realized that working at FHC was exactly what I wanted and needed”.
