Dr. Jennifer Powell, MD
Medical Director – Missouri
Raised in central Illinois, Jenny explored various career avenues before discerning her true vocation. At the age of 30, propelled by a divine calling from God, she ventured into the medical realm. She attained a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology from the University of Illinois and subsequently honed her skills at its College of Medicine in Peoria. Her medical journey was further enriched at the Southern Illinois University Family Practice Residency in Decatur.
Jenny extended her services in Clinton, Illinois, collaborating with the Sisters of the Third Order of Saint Francis, and later joined the Mercy Clinic in Lebanon, Missouri. Guided by a divine vision, Jenny felt compelled to adopt a more patient-centric approach, free from third-party interferences. This transformative insight led to the founding of Direct Primary Care Clinics, LLC. Direct Primary Care, often referred to as DPC, is a membership-based healthcare model which prioritizes a direct financial relationship between patients and their healthcare providers, eliminating third-party hindrances and fostering a closer patient-doctor bond.
While Jenny adopts a predominantly allopathic approach, she intertwines this with elements of herbal and Eastern medicine, integrating treatments such as acupuncture. Moreover, while she doesn’t directly practice aesthetics, she ardently supports its role within the medical sphere, recognizing the value it brings in enhancing holistic well-being. In essence, Jenny’s practice seamlessly combines traditional and innovative modalities, championing a holistic and comprehensive approach to patient care.
