Kevin Haselhorst grew up in Trenton, Illinois, with the dream of becoming a doctor. Dedication and hard work culminated with a degree in medicine from Southern Illinois University. His residency training at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis opened the doors to the excitement and rewards of emergency medicine.

Following his tenure in St. Louis, Dr. Haselhorst relocated to Arizona in 1998 and practices at Abrazo Heath hospitals. He is a contributing writer for the Arizona Republic, “Ask the Expert” column, end-of-life coach, and public speaker on advance care directives and universal healthcare directives. 

A red-headed excitement seeker, Dr. Haselhorst has explored life from the Great Barrier Reef to the Andes Mountains. Enriched by life, yet aware of his own inner wounded child, Dr. Haselhorst’s spiritual journey led him to become a Big Brother. This undertaking affirmed him as a mentor for the wounded as they confront the end of life.
