Jordan Valley Health CoxHealth Consortium Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a newly accredited FQHC-based Family Medicine residency built on a consortium between Jordan Valley Health, a community health center serving underserved and Medicaid-heavy populations, and CoxHealth, which supplies inpatient and specialty training. The curriculum is explicitly shaped by the needs of the served population rather than by research infrastructure, with concentrated longitudinal exposure to behavioral health, prenatal care, hepatitis C treatment, substance use disorder management, and outpatient procedures, plus a rural continuity clinic in Marshfield and a PACE geriatrics longitudinal experience. Time is split evenly between the FQHC outpatient base and CoxHealth's inpatient/specialty rotations, reflecting a design meant to produce full-scope, community-embedded family physicians rather than subspecialists or researchers. The program's own history shows graduates from its pre-accreditation training years continuing on to practice in underserved settings, signaling that community-oriented outcomes are a genuine, evidenced value rather than aspirational language.
