Native Health Primary Care: Returning to Your Roots
Welcome to a different primary care experience. Let’s take it back to the way it should be- back to the roots of what the healthcare was designed for- to promote wellness through a therapeutic relationship between patient and provider. Our primary care experience is distinctive- fostering supportive relationships that connect to achieve each individual’s health goals. At the heart of our approach is root cause medicine, assessing and exploring the cause of the dis-ease. We employ multiple modalities, including conventional and functional medicine to reestablish the natural order of wellness. Native Health Primary Care is committed to accessibility, welcoming the underinsured, uninsured, and those seeking a different healthcare experience. As Virgil wisely said, 'The greatest wealth is health.' Your journey back to wellness begins here. Let us help you get back to your roots!

Introducing Emily Gavel APRN, FNP-C, IFMCP
Emily believes that life is a gift and is determined to live it fully. From a young age she was fascinated by the intricacies shaping overall health. A serious illness in high school prompted her to question the conventional disease narrative and became a turning point in her own health. Conventional medicine played a crucial role in saving her life but the conviction that the root causes of the disease extended beyond what was known to be true persisted. This sparked her pursuit of uncovering the true origins of ‘dis-ease’ and propelled her into further education.
​
She began her journey as a registered nurse but quickly realized her passion surpassed caregiving alone; she aimed to address pervasive health disparities. Emily believes that medicine is not just a profession but a pathway to understanding the ‘why’ behind disease. Her mission is twofold: providing comprehensive, compassionate care and empowering patients with the knowledge to take charge of their well-being.
​
She is a wife to a former Marine and a proud mother of three boys. Her life has been a vibrant tapestry woven with diverse experiences in and outside of the office. She enjoys basking in the sun, embracing the therapeutic power of saltwater, and indulging in horsemanship; this includes occasionally venturing into the adrenaline-pumping world of barrel racing.

“Let’s uncover the ‘why’ and embrace vitality. Together we can optimize your health and make every moment count.” -Emily Gavel
