Kare Health and Wellness

Specialties

Kare Health & Wellness is a unique, independent integrative medicine clinic located in Springfield Missouri focused on patient centered care with an emphasis on prevention versus treatment.

History

Established in 2012.

Our clinic began in 2012 initially to provide quality health care services at reduced rates for the under and uninsured individuals of southwest Missouri. As our clinic has grown, we have expanded our services, products, and staff. A few years ago, Keri Sutton, the owner of Kare Health & Wellness became frustrated with conventional western medicine’s approach of waiting for disease to develop, then treating the symptoms.

So Keri began learning about functional medicine and she was intrigued and excited about a new approach that could actually help people feel better and actually prevent diseases. The goal of Functional Medicine is not only to improve your health if you have a chronic illness, but to prevent future health issues. It’s a patient-​centered approach, where we address the whole person not just your isolated set of symptoms. For those who are sick and tired of being sick or tired, Functional Medicine offers new hope.
