🔥 Laura Sandquist, DNP, APRN, A-GNP-C, FMCP-M and Kate Otremba, DNP, MN, APRN, CNP, FMCP-M @wholehealthnp spent 6 years building a thriving integrative and functional medicine program inside Allina Health — a conventional health system in Minnesota.
Live from the IFM Annual Conference, they joined me to share how they did it:
✅ Built clinical infrastructure — smart phrases, practice guidelines, and templates — to translate functional medicine into daily practice within RVU and insurance constraints
âś… Solved major access issues with nutritionist-led and co-led group medical visits
âś… Built trust and drove referrals system-wide with a two-day CME training run 6 times over 2 years
Proof that whole-health transformation is possible inside conventional systems.
