Mohammed Jendi, MD, has been appointed Interim Medical Director for Bucktail Medical Center.

“We are delighted to have Dr. Jendi serve as our Interim Medical Director. He’s been with the facility for a little over a year now as an Emergency Department physician,” said Laura Murnyack, CEO/Administrator of Bucktail Medical Center. “Dr. Jendi’s distinguished background, wealth of experience, and passion for practicing rural medicine will be valuable assets for Bucktail Medical Center in his new role as Interim Medical Director as we continue to serve Renovo and the Western Clinton County community.”

Dr. Jendi is certified in Family Medicine and Geriatric Medicine by the American Board of Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine by the American Board of Physician Specialties.

“Renovo captured my heart the first time I drove through in 2020,” said Dr. Jendi. “Over the last few years, my commitment to this area and residents has only grown. As Interim Medical Director, I want to bring peace of mind to the community, building comfort and a long-lasting relationship between Bucktail Medical Center and the people of Renovo.”

Dr. Jendi’s hobbies include paintball, fitness, and anything to do with high-horsepower cars. He loves spending time with his girls at home and enjoys “being beaten by little kids at video games, coffee of all kinds and origins, and learning anything new that involves a lot of YouTube time.” His least favorite things are Mondays, traffic, tolls, mosquitoes, taxes, and putting together IKEA items that his wife has bought.

“We look forward to benefiting from Dr. Jendi’s leadership, expertise, and local knowledge as we continue to set a course for the future,” said CEO/Administrator Murnyack.
