Melissa Kauffman

Clinical Manager

As the Clinical Manager, Melissa has a solid background in the clinical setting. She has over 30 years of clinical experience managing critical care teams across the country. Melissa's expertise comes from EMS, Cardiac Cath, Emergency Room, Pre/Postoperative settings, and Flight Critical Care. My passion for preventive health care grew through windows of opportunity to care for the sickest patient. My health came into question early into my career as a young adult. Caring for some of the most complex patients with a passion for helping restore their health. Healing of the whole person was a vital missing link. Preventive health would have changed many, so many of their outcomes.
Melissa recently completed the CMTE graduate program and knows what it takes to have a team approach to a client's preventive health care goals.
I believe that a team approach is essential in achieving your overall goals.
