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 and 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 continues to serve as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Kansas Air National Guard 190th Air Refueling Wing, Forbes Field, Topeka, KS. “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,” Jeremy says. He also serves as co-clinical advisor for the Northeast Kansas Healthcare Coalition, which benefits 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. Brandt lives in Frankfort with his wife, who is originally from Axtell, Kansas. They have four children ranging from teens to adult. The oldest is married to a wonderful young lady. He is dedicated to fitness and is “a bit of a handyman.” He and his family have three large dogs, a cat, and “numerous other animals from time to time.”
