Emily Gavel, APRN, FNP-C

Emily Gavel, APRN, FNP-C, IFMCP 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 this sparked her pursuit of uncovering the true origins of disease.

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 a pathway to understanding the 'why' behind disease. Her mission is twofold: providing comprehensive, compassionate care and empowering patients with knowledge to take charge of their well-being.

She is a wife to a former Marine and a proud mother of three boys. At Native Health Primary Care, Emily is committed to accessibility and uses root cause medicine, employing multiple modalities including conventional and functional medicine.
