The people behind your personalized family health care.

Jennifer Basford


Jennifer Basford is a Family Nurse Practitioner that graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion Indiana with a Master’s of Science in Nursing. Jennifer has over 25 years of experience in various fields including Labor and Delivery, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, and Primary Care. Jennifer is married to Brett and has 2 children, Eden and Bretton. She has a farm which she loves with different animals that hold her heart including chickens, donkeys, Corgi’s, cats, ducks, fish, goats, and her emu, Kevin. Jennifer enjoys spending time with friends and family, showing her goats, spending quiet time in the woods and working on her farm, audiobooks, and a nice nap.


Jennifer prides herself on being attentive and taking personalized care of her patients and families. She is adamant that healthcare is not a one size fits all mold. She believes in doing what works for you. She blends a natural approach with modern medicine to ensure that her patients have the most successful outcomes possible. Optimizing health and maximizing the benefits of supplements and prescription medications are what sets her apart from other practitioners. Jennifer is passionate about advocating for your own health. She encourages preventative care and screenings, as well as thinking outside the box and exploring alternative approaches to fit your individual diagnoses and needs. She believes no one knows what works for you and your body better than you do. And she believes in listening. Listening to your patients can be the difference between helping and healing. Listening to your body can be the difference between ignoring symptoms and saving your life. Her vision is to make health care affordable to all, while taking it off the assembly line. Compassionate care that is more than just a number is what Jennifer offers at Fort Family Health.
