Steadfast Healer and Family Anchor — Jeffrey Bolduan

A concise portrait

Early life and the making of a physician

Jeffrey Bolduan’s life reads like a measured sonnet where steady lines repeat: study, service, family. He entered medicine, trained in urology, and built a career that moves between examination rooms and operating suites. Along the way, he and his wife Nadine built a family that remained rooted in Midwestern towns — spells of living abroad (including Guadalajara, Mexico, early in their marriage) folded into later years in Dearborn, Michigan, and eventually Goshen, Indiana. The years pile up as quiet landmarks: marriage on January 5, 1973; family settled in Goshen by the early 1980s; public professional move to Goshen Physicians Urology announced on May 17, 2022.

Numbers matter here because they mark transitions: four daughters raised under the same roof, a marriage that lasted nearly five decades, and a clinical roster that shows steady updates through the mid-2020s. These are not merely facts. They are the scaffolding of a life built around vocation and kin.

Medical career and community role

The practice of urology is an exacting craft — part surgery, part problem detective work. Dr. Bolduan’s public professional profile is consistent with that expectation. He lists hospital privileges, accepts patients in clinic, and performs standard urologic procedures. In May 2022 he formally joined Goshen Physicians Urology, cementing an affiliation with Goshen Health and local hospitals that frames his clinical presence in the county.

Clinical work is often measured in cases and lists: numbers of surgeries, the cadence of clinic days, the registry entries that track a physician’s licensure and updates. An NPI registry entry and physician-directory listings reflect that administrative side of medicine. But beyond registries and rosters there is the day-to-day: follow-up calls, the small triumphs of a stone passed, the relief when a procedure brings back normalcy. Those are the quiet metrics that define a community clinician’s impact.

The Bolduan family: four daughters and the next generation

This is a family threaded through professions: medicine, psychology, media, and other careers. Where a father chooses medicine, at least one child followed into healthcare (Jana, a psychologist), while another stepped into national journalism (Kate). The household that produced a national news anchor also produced clinicians and professionals who prefer quieter public lives. That contrast is part of the family’s texture: public visibility and private steadiness sitting side by side.

Grandchildren add another layer. The public record lists two grandchildren through Kate — Cecelia Eve (born September 25, 2014) and a younger sister born in December 2017 — small numerals in a long family ledger, but enormous in the way small people reconfigure priorities and calendars.

Timeline — key dates and numbers

Timelines can feel like railroad tracks; they show direction. Here, dates puncture life’s continuity: marriage, births, professional moves, the death of a spouse. Numbers give the outline, human events fill it in.

Life between clinic and home

Working as a physician in a regional health system often means being intimately connected with community expectations. Surgeons and specialists become known by first names at coffee shops; they are the people neighbors call on for vaccine advice, for a second opinion, for reassurance. For Dr. Bolduan, that community role sits beside his identity as husband, father, and grandfather.

That duality — the public duty of a clinician and the private responsibility of a family man — is a recurrent motif. His wife’s passing in 2022 marked a personal loss that also resonated in the family narrative. A marriage that began in 1973 spanned decades of raising children, moving across borders and states, and building a life anchored in both medicine and family rituals.

Professional profile and public record

Administrative markers — NPI numbers, directory listings, hospital affiliations — map the professional contour of a modern physician. They tell the pragmatic story: where a doctor sees patients, where he is credentialed, and when affiliations changed. Dr. Bolduan’s clinical records indicate ongoing practice into the mid-2020s; his move to join Goshen Physicians Urology in 2022 is a recent waypoint in an established career.

But paperwork is not the whole story. Medicine is an apprenticeship of attention: the patient who remembers a doctor’s steadiness, the family who trusts a surgeon’s hand. These impressions do not always make it into registries; nonetheless, they often define a clinician’s local reputation more than any line in a database.

The public daughter: Kate Bolduan and family echoes

When one child becomes a public figure, family history takes on an additional mirror. Kate Bolduan’s career as a national journalist inevitably brings family references into a broader frame. Her public profile — birth date, marriage, children — is part of the record, and it casts light back onto the family’s roots in Goshen. Yet the household produced several trajectories: media visibility, clinical practice, and private careers. That diversity is a measure of a family comfortable with different public footprints.

Notes on numbers, records, and silence

Public records provide certain facts: names, numbers, dates. They also leave gaps: private finances, intimate conversations, the texture of daily life. Those absences matter. What remains are the verifiable marks — marriages, births, clinical affiliations, registry entries — which, when read together, sketch a life that is professional, familial, and anchored in a Midwestern community. Like a map with both measured coordinates and shaded inlands, the portrait of Jeffrey Bolduan is precise where documentation exists and intentionally quiet where privacy is preserved.
