Kirkwood Family Medicine

Kirkwood Family Medicine is a medical clinic in Kirkwood, Missouri, located at 1001 S Kirkwood Rd Suite 300. The clinic sits near the intersection of South Kirkwood Road and Big Bend Road. Turner School is about 0.3 miles away, as is a sports center, while Nipher Middle School is roughly 0.4 miles from the office. A public artwork called Griffin stands about 0.4 miles away as well.

The practice is part of Kirkwood Community College, an institution that has served students, families, employees, and employers in eastern Iowa for more than half a century. Kirkwood operates 14 locations across 7 counties and offers more than 140 programs of study. Its faculty and administration provide the expertise and leadership that help students reach their full potential in their future careers, and its instructors bring real-world experience to the classroom, including former law enforcement officers. Students in career and technical fields train in hands-on facilities such as a CNC lab, learning to create precision parts with modern equipment, and programs are organized into areas that group similar careers and interests together.

The Kirkwood Foundation, established in 1969, raises funds to support students through education and training, providing resources not typically covered by taxes, tuition, or other funding sources, and operates as a nonprofit, tax exempt corporation. The college's Institutional Effectiveness team manages self-evaluation processes covering process improvement, institutional research, strategic planning, and accreditation. Students can complete two-year transfer degrees equivalent to the first two years of study at four-year colleges and universities, or move directly into the workforce. The college also maintains a Board of Trustees that reviews its mission and initiatives.

For patients in Kirkwood, the clinic's connection to an institution with more than fifty years of service and a broad educational mission shapes what it offers the local community.
