About the Kellers
Dr. Ken Keller trained and studied at Cornell University Medical College in New York and Boston College in Massachusetts. He completed his residency in Long Island, New York. After spending time in the big city, in 1998, he and his family decided to take a chance on Northeast Colorado. Shortly after Dr. Ken and his family moved to Fort Morgan, he called his brother, David, to see if he was ready to trade in the city lights of Boston for a quiet, small community in rural Colorado. David later joined his brother in the winter of 1998.
David Keller studied and completed his Physician Associate training at Northeastern University in Boston. David and his wife, being a young family, shortly discovered that Fort Morgan was a great place to raise a family where they could truly be part of a community where they have been active in the school, Booster Club, various sports teams, and the school board.
