Community Invited to Meet Dr. Michael Heard, Tour the Clinic, and Learn About New Fertility Support Group at the Wellnest Open House – Wednesday, May 21 from 5:00–7:00 P.M.
South Ogden, UTAH (May 15, 2025) – Wellnest Fertility is proud to announce the addition of Dr. Michael J. Heard, F.A.C.O.G., a nationally recognized Reproductive Endocrinologist with over 25 years of experience in fertility care, academic medicine, and women’s health.
Dr. Heard joins the Wellnest team during a time of significant momentum. Since opening its doors in February, the clinic has seen over 100 new patients seeking fertility consultations, highlighting the strong demand for reproductive care in the region and reinforcing the importance of continued access to experienced providers.
“Dr. Heard’s experience and compassionate approach to care will be a tremendous asset to our patients and the broader community,” said Hannah Johnson, Chief Executive Officer at Wellnest. “We’re excited to welcome him to Utah and to continue building a clinic where every patient feels seen, supported, and cared for.”
Dr. Heard’s extensive career includes leadership roles at Baylor College of Medicine, Women’s Specialists of Houston, and The Heard Institute. A veteran of the U.S. Air Force, he has also served as an educator and researcher, presenting nationally on topics such as male infertility, early pregnancy, and adolescent gynecology.
“I’m honored to join the Wellnest team and look forward to helping more people grow their families,” said Dr. Heard. “There’s something truly special about the energy here in Ogden, it’s both patient-centered and community-driven. I can’t wait to meet everyone at the open house.”
In addition to welcoming Dr. Heard, Wellnest is proud to launch its new Fertility Support Group, a free offering for individuals and couples navigating infertility and family building. This initiative is presented in collaboration with My Mind Body Collective, a trusted resource for mental and emotional wellness. Guests can learn more and sign up during the open house.
