Jay Fearnley, PA-C
Emergency Medicine, Acute Care
I am a Physician Assistant as an emergency room and hospitalist provider. I care for all emergent cases and hospitalized patients in coordination with our hospital team. I have training in emergency care/critical care and have most recently worked as an emergency room provider full-time at the University of Utah. I had a full career as a Firefighter/Paramedic and administrative officer with Salt Lake County Fire Department before matriculating to PA school. Part of my clinical experience and desire to work with patients stems from my time flying aeromedical transport for 5 years as a flight paramedic with AirMed at the University of Utah and seeing the importance of access to quality medical care. I currently teach graduate medical students in physical exam and clinical education. I am passionate about helping others and understand the unique challenges of rural health and I look forward to providing quality care for the residents in Kemmerer. Please reach out to say hello when you see me.

Kyla Franklin, DNP, APRN, FNP-C
Family Medicine
Office: 307-877-4496
I went to nursing school in Cheyenne, Wyoming and started my career in healthcare there 11 years ago. That is also where I met my husband, Cody. Prior to that I worked as a flight attendant where I enjoyed traveling the world, meeting new people, and figuring out what I wanted to do with my life. After working at several large medical centers, I found myself a bit frustrated by healthcare and decided to go back to school to learn more and get into a position where I could really make a difference. I enjoy helping others, and I feel that my nursing background will help me to be a more holistic healthcare provider. Additionally, my husband and I have 3 daughters. We have grown to love this community in our 4+ years here, and we are excited to stay and call Kemmerer home. Some random things about me: my childhood dream was to be a costume designer. I am an avid seamstress and enjoy sewing in my free time. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I find medicine fascinating and love learning about the human body and how to help people achieve health and wellness. I am so excited to start my career as a healthcare provider and I look forward to the challenges ahead.

Passion for people- serving those who serve us in the place I call home. I believe in compassionate care and am privileged to serve those who have helped care and raise me and to teach those who will one day hopefully return the sentiment. As a pharmacist married to a chiropractor, I believe we can do several things throughout our wellness journey. As one of the most accessible providers, pharmacists can provide counseling on disease states and the safe and effective medication use as well as alternative and supplemental therapy. I love to travel. If I could spend my days traveling to new places and exploring them on foot, I would! When I am not working (WHAT?!? lol) I enjoy spending time with Casey and our four girls doing any outdoor activity. Wyoming has the most amazing summers, and I can often be found hiking, camping, boating, ATVing, and running. We enjoy skiing and sledding in the winter. If we are indoors, I enjoy time spent baking, crafting, reading and movie nights with my crew.
