“Jenniffer is tenacious and enthusiastic,” said Amanda Blodgett, Chief Executive Officer of Klamath Health Partnership. “Her in-patient experience brings valuable perspective to her clinical role. She is a terrific addition to Team KHP.”
Miss Rodriguez, now holding the rank of Captain, was also direct commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army Reserve (USAR), Nurse Corps, in 2013. She initially served as a Medical Surgical Nurse for the 325th Combat Support Hospital located in Independence, Missouri. After completing the Army’s Basic Officer Leadership Course in San Antonio, Texas, she was then mobilized and deployed to Soto Cano, Honduras, as a Nurse Staff and Officer in Charge of Medical Readiness Training Exercises, in support of Operation Central Skies in 2016.
In 2017, she was selected to attend the Army’s rigorous Critical Care Course in San Antonio, Texas where she was awarded the Intensive Care Unit area of concentration identifier.

Dr. Jordan Hoese
Dr. Jordan Hoese joins the practice after the completion of her residency at Cascades East Family Medicine. Dr. Hoese received her Doctorate from UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas.

“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Hoese to our team of outstanding healthcare providers,” said Amanda Blodgett, Chief Executive Officer of Klamath Health Partnership. “Dr. Hoese’s compassionate, welcoming demeanor makes her a perfect fit for Team KHP.”
Originally from southern California, Dr. Hoese interned at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland where she realized she most enjoyed the boots-on-the-ground approach to health of a family physician, working within communities to promote health, prevent disease and treat illness. After graduating from residency in 2022, Dr. Hoese chose to stay in Klamath Falls and join KHP, an organization she believes shares her goal of bridging care gaps to meet needs and improve health both at the community and individual level.
