In Oregon, as in many states, FNPs work independently of a physician with a similar scope of practice. FNPs can diagnose, prescribe, order labs, CT/MRI/ X-ray etc, make referrals, and provide treatment plans.

Havilah grew up in rural Colorado and completed her under-grad from Western State University with honors magna cum laude, in Spanish & pre-med . It was in the Rocky Mountain playground she cultivated her love for mountain biking, medicine, yoga, climbing and skiing.
Havilah began her journey in healthcare in 2008 with a Master's degree in Nursing & Clinical Nurse Leadership from California State University. Her thesis explored the blending of complimentary & alternative medicine with traditional/conventional medicine.
​
Focusing initially in acute care, she worked for the next several years in emergency medicine and intensive care at hospitals such as OHSU in Portland, Intermountain Healthcare in Salt Lake City & Park City, and St. Luke's Medical Center in Denver.
​
While working on her Acute Care and Family Nurse Practitioner degree from Colorado State University, Havilah worked as a bilingual RN for Boulder County Public Health, where she provided home visit healthcare for prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric patients of high-need/high-risk families.
​
Upon completing her nurse practitioner degree in 2014 through Colorado State University, Havilah & her husband moved to Bend. She has since practiced primary care and urgent care/walk-in care for La Pine Community Health Center & St. Charles, as well as PRN for Deschutes Onsite Clinic, Oregon Youth Challenge, and Viva Gyn Women's Health and Menopause Clinic. Havilah left her conventional medicine practice at St Charles Family Care at the end of 2017 and started Hearthside Medicine Family Care (now Healing Roots Medicine) in January of 2018.
​
Havilah is excited to have more time with her patients, provide more holistically-centered care, and offer functional medicine!
​
Her greatest joy is spending time with her two little daughters and husband.
​

Jeremy Brodhead, FNP
Family Nurse Practitioner
Jeremy grew up in Pennsylvania, however his love for the outdoors drew him to the western US, finally landing in Bend with Havilah and his two young daughters.
​
His first degree is from Penn State in biochemistry and molecular biology. Before becoming an NP, he worked in genetics (in Singapore!), then realized he truly wanted to work with people, not in a lab. Thus, he went back for further education to become an RN at DeSales University in PA. Jeremy worked as a lead charge nurse for several years in cardiac and respiratory ICU in Salt Lake City, UT and Boulder, CO. Finally, he returned once again for a third degree as an acute care/family nurse practitioner at University of Colorado. He has additionally taken continuing medical education credits in functional medicine and men's health. Before joining us at Hearthside, Jeremy worked at St Charles Family Care for five years.
​
Jeremy is a jack of all trades functioning as CEO, provider, chief medical officer in charge of care quality and standards, IT and system optimization, and much more. He is taking new patients for integrative medicine approaches to high cholesterol, high blood sugar/diabetes, men's health and hormones, and sports performance and optimization as well as overall health optimization.
​
In his free time he can be seen training and racing mountain bikes for the Hearthside Medicine Cycling Team in an effort to help spread the word of Hearthside Medicine to our community.
We are what we eat and what we do! Many of our ailments or health concerns stem from these two things and yet these are what define us as a person. Jeremy is passionate about working with patients to slowly change their life habits to a more sustainable and healthy style! In addition, Jeremy's passion is caring for heart health, diabetes, men's health, injuries, sports medicine, fasting, and orthopedics--all using an integrative medicine approach.
