Kelly Pierce has been a resident of Davis/Weber county since 1994. She served in the US Air Force with a specialty in disaster preparedness and major accident response. She volunteered with the Tsunami and Earthquake clean up in Japan. She earned her Bachelor of Science, Nursing at Westminster College in 2006. Kelly has 13 years of nursing experience in pediatrics, women’s health, trauma nursing, and case management. She completed her Master of Science, Nursing Education at Weber State University in 2011. Her master’s project involved research on how community support groups could support adolescent moms in reaching personal career goals to be successful contributors in society. She applied this knowledge as a volunteer counselor at a pregnancy care center in Weber County for 2 years and taught nursing students at SLCC and Eagle Gate College. Kelly is passionate about the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotions Healthy People, whose objectives are preventative healthcare. This motivated her to return to school and earn her Master of Science, Family Nurse Practitioner in 2019 with Chamberlain University. Her goal is to share her experiences and knowledge with her patients, empowering them to make the best decisions for their own health. She believes we learn from each other and knowledge is wasted if it is not shared. She plans to volunteer as a medical provider in the community for those who cannot afford healthcare. Her interests as a Primary Care Provider include meeting health care needs for men, women, and children who want to overcome or prevent chronic health conditions. Kelly believes a patient’s awareness of disease processes can transform into self-actualization of health through education and management of their own health and looks forward to working together as a team.
Kelly is a resident of Ogden, Utah. She grew up on a beach in Destin, Florida and anytime she can get back to a beach makes for a fabulous vacation! She has 3 boys, and they are the reason her heart smiles! She enjoys exploring new ideas to improve health, reading books by Jodi Picoult, snowboarding, trail riding, tennis, and all water sports.
