Now accepting new patients, Kelly Hill is a Certified Nurse Practitioner who provides a number of services and treatments to patients of all ages.

As a Chillicothe native, Hill has been employed with Adena Health System for over 35 years, with spending most of his career working in the Emergency Department. 

“For a period of 12 years, I worked only part-time in the Emergency Department as I was also working as a flight nurse for Med Flight of Ohio,” said Hill. 

Hill was later employed as the School Nurse at Unioto Schools for 13 years.  “During this time, I saw many students and staff, without primary care providers or anyone to address their health care needs,” he said. “ It was due to this ongoing shortage I decided to pursue becoming a nurse practitioner to try and make a difference in the community.”

During the completion of his Master of Science in Nursing and Nurse Practitioner coursework, he returned full-time to the Adena’s Emergency Department.

After earning his Nurse Practitioner Certification, Hill worked for a year at the Adena Walmart Walk-in Clinic. He then had the opportunity to transfer his patient care to Adena Chillicothe Family Physicians.  “I feel I have made a great decision to focus on primary care, as I am now able to help provide primary care to so many in the area who are in need.” 

According to Hill, Being able to develop positive relationships with his patients, helping them to maintain their health and wellness and being a resource for them has been the most rewarding part of being a primary care provider. "I feel I am able to give back to the community where I was raised,” he said.

Hill and his wife currently live in the Chillicothe area and enjoy spending their time with their two sons and a young granddaughter.
