Jeremy Jan Brandt, PA‐C

Jeremy Brandt, PA-C, studied at Kansas State University and then completed the physician assistant program at St. Louis University. He also holds a master’s degree in physician assistant studies through the University of Nebraska Omaha.  In addition he is a licensed X-ray technologist, which enables the Frankfort Clinic, where he is the lead provider, to offer basic radiologic services.   Brandt has served in the armed forces for more than 20 years and holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Kansas Air National Guard’s 190th Air Refueling Wing, Forbes Field, Topeka, KS where he continues to serve alongside some of the finest service men and women he has ever encountered.  Prior to his Air Force service he served in the KS Army National Guard and states “I had the fortune to deploy to Iraq and serve with extraordinarily high-quality men and women in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004 with the 2-130 Field Artillery Battalion headquartered in Hiawatha, KS.”  He recently served as co-clinical advisor for the Northeast Kansas Healthcare Coalition, which benefited from his emergency preparedness experience.   Brandt loves family medicine and covering the emergency room. He grew up around healthcare and science; his mother was a nurse and long-term care administrator, and his father was a high school science teacher then came to Frankfort schools to serve as principal. He loves helping people and says he felt that “as a PA, I would be positioned to return to the communities that helped shape me and the values that I hold today.” He feels blessed and honored to care for friends and neighbors and humbled by their confidence and trust.  Further, he feels blessed to be able to call CHCS his home.  CHCS has been his primary employer for his entire career.  Brandt lives in Frankfort with his wife, who is originally from Axtell, Kansas. They have four grown(-ish) children 😊 of whom he could not be more proud. The oldest is married to a wonderful young lady and together they have given them two of the cutest little grand-babies you’ve ever seen!  Jeremy is dedicated to fitness and loves being outdoors.
