Jeralyn Brossfield, MD, FACOG 

Diplomate, American Board of Obesity Medicine

Director, Eisenhower Wellness Institute

Dr. Brossfield's interest in Medicine began as a child of missionary parents in The Sudan. She pursued medical training at Loma Linda University where the motto, "To Make Man Whole" resonated with her personal mission of providing holistic, comprehensive care. 

Moving to the Coachella Valley in 2002, Dr. Brossfield became known as a doctor who listens and partners with her patients to create total wellness. The needs of her patients led Dr. Brossfield to pursue further training in menopause, sexuality, and weight management. To support the achievement of sustainable lifestyle transformation, Dr. Brossfield created a network of coaches who work with others on similar weight loss journeys. These coaches have assisted thousands in achieving and sustaining their optimal weight. During this process, Dr. Brossfield realized the need to reach a larger community with tools for wellness and optimal health.

It was therefore a natural transition to move into Directorship of Eisenhower Medical Center's Wellness Institute in June of 2013. In this work, she seeks to bring wellness into her community through accessible, relevant support of each person's wholeness in mind, body and spirit.
