BJC Medical Group’s Post

We are thrilled to welcome Ashley Osborn, DO, a board-certified family medicine physician, to BJC Medical Group Primary Care at Edwardsville. Growing up, Dr. Osborn would tell anyone who would listen that she wanted to be a doctor. "As I got older," she shares, "that childhood dream evolved into a deeper understanding of what it means to care for others." As the first person in her family to go to college, the opportunity to realize this goal was especially meaningful. Her desire to help people in tangible, lasting ways—combined with her fascination for how the human body worked—ultimately led her to Family Medicine, where she can listen, educate, and advocate for her patients. She loves Family Medicine because she gets to care for the whole person, not just one part or one problem. "You become such a big part of their lives,” Dr. Osborn says, "It is so fulfilling to know they trust you to care for them and their families through every stage of life." Originally from Collinsville and now living in Glen Carbon, Dr. Osborn is especially proud to be practicing medicine in the area where she grew up. "I understand the values, pace, and personality of the people here because I’ve lived it myself,” she explains. “For me, there’s something special about caring for the people who feel like neighbors." She plans to stay here long-term, raise a family, and give back to the community that helped shape her. Seeing patients of all ages, Dr. Osborn provides continuous, personalized care by considering the whole person—stress, lifestyle, and emotional health. Her comprehensive services include preventive care such as annual physicals, well-woman exams, vaccinations, and sick visits. She manages both acute and chronic health issues like injuries, illnesses, diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep disorders, and musculoskeletal issues. Additionally, Dr. Osborn offers women’s health services, including family planning and contraception counseling, along with osteopathic manipulation treatments (OMT). Outside of medicine, Dr. Osborn and her husband live with their aussiedoodle, Millie. She enjoys reading and looks forward to her monthly book club with friends and spending quality time with family. “Family means everything to us, and we’re lucky to have both sides of our family close by.” Learn more about Dr. Osborn and schedule your appointment online: https://heyor.ca/kHEodx
