Happy 2023!

Wow! I can’t believe January has already flown by! There are some new faces and exciting plans for 2023 at our office. There are so many things I’d like to tell you all about, but these emails can be limiting. Please check our website, DillonLambert.com, Instagram @thriveintegrativehealthreno, or Facebook for updates.
When I opened my practice in 2018, it was my intention to build an enduring practice of medicine through “personal, high-touch medicine with a small-town feel.” Over the last 5 years with the increasing demands of the healthcare industry and government changes, I am directed to be more of an “administrator of care” rather than a “provider.” As many of you know, I have explored many different aspects regarding my practice model, its growth, and the type of care provided. As a nurse practitioner, patient care is my highest priority, and maintaining my independence as a practitioner allows me to focus on you, the patient. It’s been over a year since our practice decided to stop accepting insurance for these same reasons. This has allowed us to maintain the focus of care on preventing the disease rather than treating it, empowering patients through education, and assisting patients in reaching their optimal health goals. During 2022 I also decided to add a membership option for patients wanting a more concierge communication style. As Thrive continues into 2023, I will be focusing on my membership offerings. I am making this change to my practice to continue providing a progressive, functional, and comprehensive approach to your health and wellness. By limiting the number of patients in the membership, I plan to recapture my original practice's personal and small-town feel. I want to better focus on establishing and reestablishing direct relationships with patients and their families and provide greater access to me, as your provider, and our practice. This being said, Thrive will continue to offer non-member services and options for those who decide that the membership is not for them- both in the office and virtually. I understand that a medical membership may not be for everyone. At Thrive, you will continue to have access to experienced, specialized practitioners who will invest in your journey and delve into your health history and concerns. Katie and Annie are both excellent Nurse Practitioners who are experienced with gut health, weight loss, aesthetics, and family medicine. In addition to our ‘Keep Me Well” membership, we will be offering men’s health and weight loss memberships shortly. We will also be expanding our digitally enabled virtual care availability. Virtual practice refers to healthcare services that take place virtually using communications technology. Through video and audio connectivity, practitioners can meet with patients in real-time, from practically any location…no more missed work for our patients! We are honored to support you in creating and maintaining a healthy energetic system and promoting a happier healthier life. For more information on membership, please see our website and look under patient resources. Don’t just survive, THRIVE!
