As a Fort Collins native, Dr. Cardon is living his dream of returning to his hometown. After graduating from Poudre High School, Dr. Cardon received a bachelor’s degree in Spanish Translation from Brigham Young University in 2012, followed by a degree in Osteopathic Medicine from Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona in 2018.

Dr. Cardon completed his residency in Fort Collins at Poudre Valley Hospital in Family Medicine in June 2021, where he served as chief resident during his last year of residency.

Dr. Cardon and his wife Allison, also a Fort Collins native, were married in 2009 and have three kids. They are thrilled to be back in Fort Collins.

Growing up in the small-town warmth of North Dakota, where community bonds are strong and neighbors are like family, Dr. Rochelle Palmiscno was inspired by her father, a family physician, to pursue a life of caring for others. Her journey led her to Colorado for residency, where she fell in love with the mountains, sunny skies, and welcoming communities. For over a decade, she has cared for patients of all ages—from newborns to grandparents—across the full spectrum of family medicine, including pediatrics and women’s health. Her goal is to create a space where people feel heard and supported in navigating the complexities of healthcare and their unique health journeys.
Wanting to help patients live their healthiest lives beyond medication, Dr. Palmiscno became board-certified in lifestyle medicine in 2021.
