Care that considers the whole person
A symptom deserves attention in the context of the person experiencing it. At Sante, the clinical conversation includes your family and health history, nutrition, stress, daily routines, previous testing, and current treatment. Those details help shape an individualized plan rather than a standard program for everyone.
Your practitioner may discuss an examination, appropriate testing, personalized holistic nutrition, or other services. Ask what each proposed step is intended to address, what its limitations are, and when you will review your progress.
Know the people involved in your care
Carolann Kummins is the founder of The Sante Center. Her work focuses on traditional naturopathic philosophies, holistic nutrition, natural therapies, and patient education. Her biography describes her training and approach; she does not prescribe pharmaceutical drugs.
Nicole Adam Hazel, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. She combines her nursing and clinical background with an interest in holistic and functional medicine. Jeannette Krieger, RN, BSN, is an IV specialist and Reiki Master with a background in nursing and complementary care.
The supporting team includes Janelle Huber, Medication Nursing Assistant, and Ta’Naya Allard, LNA and Colon Hydrotherapist. Ask who will provide a particular service and what the visit will involve before arranging care.
Understand the approach and the professional role
Functional, holistic, and naturopathic describe approaches to care; they do not tell you, on their own, which professional credential a practitioner holds. Our team biographies identify the roles of the people you may work with.
Sante’s approach brings nutrition, lifestyle, health history, and appropriate testing into the care conversation. Before choosing a practitioner or service, ask about the person’s role, relevant training, and how your existing medical care will be considered.
Keep your care team connected
Sante’s complementary care works alongside your regular medical care. Patients must maintain care with a primary care provider, and existing specialist treatment remains part of the picture.
Bring your current medication and supplement list, relevant test reports, and the names of your treating clinicians. If you are receiving cancer treatment, discuss supportive care with your oncology team so proposed additions can be considered in that context.
Start with the questions that matter to you
A free 15-minute introductory consultation gives you a way to ask about the practice, describe what you are looking for, and discuss the next steps for arranging care. It is separate from a clinical evaluation, testing, or treatment.
For an evaluation, prepare a short timeline of your concerns and the questions you most want answered. Your first appointment may include a detailed history, discussion of your goals and routines, and an examination or testing when appropriate.
- What has changed, and how does it affect your day?
- What care or testing have you already received?
- What would you most like a personalized plan to help you address?
