One Provider for the Whole Family, From Newborns to Grandparents

Family medicine means one provider who can care for everyone in your household, at every age. Over time, that continuity helps your provider know your history, your family patterns and what matters to you.

What Family Medicine Means

Family medicine is primary care for people of every age. Instead of one office for the kids, another for the parents and another for the grandparents, one family medicine provider can care for all of you. Brooke Tuttle, FNP-C, is a board-certified family nurse practitioner who has practiced family medicine since 2017 and provides care for the entire family, from newborns to geriatrics.

Continuity is the heart of it. When the same provider sees you over the years, small changes are easier to notice, family history is already known, and you do not have to repeat your story at every visit. Having a regular source of primary care is widely linked with better preventive care and steadier management of long-term conditions.

Sagebrooke starts as a telehealth practice for patients located in Utah, with an in-person clinic planned for later. Many family health needs can be met by video: sick visits, medication management, chronic condition follow-up, mental health check-ins, women's health and teen health conversations, and lab result reviews. When someone in your family needs a hands-on exam, a vaccine or a test, we will help you arrange it.

Our Approach to Family Medicine

Getting to Know Each Person

Each family member has their own visits, history and plan. We learn about medications, past illnesses, family history, routines and goals, so care fits each person rather than a template.

Seeing the Family Picture

Knowing that diabetes, thyroid disease or migraines run in your family, or that a stomach bug is moving through the house, helps us give better advice. With your permission, family context informs each person's care.

Staying With You Over Time

Family medicine is a long relationship. We follow children as they grow, adults through new seasons of life, and older adults as their needs change, and coordinate specialist care when it is needed.

Benefits

Continuity

The same provider over the years means your history is known and changes are noticed sooner.

Simpler for Busy Families

One practice for everyone makes it easier to keep track of care, records and follow-up.

Care Across Every Stage

From newborn questions to teen health, women's health, chronic conditions and healthy aging, care grows with your family.

One Place for the Whole Picture

When someone needs a specialist, imaging or in-person care, we help arrange it and bring the results back into one plan.

How Care Usually Unfolds

Getting Started

Each family member who would like care has a first telehealth visit to review their history, medications and current concerns.

The First Few Months

We follow up on any labs, refills or referrals, and set a rhythm for preventive care and check-ins that fits each person.

As Needs Come Up

When someone gets sick or a new question comes up, contact the practice and we will help you decide on the right next step, whether that is a video visit, an in-person test or urgent care.

Over the Years

Children grow, adults move through new stages of life, and older adults need different support. Each person's care plan changes with them.

Care at every age

Newborns and babies: feeding, sleep, skin and everyday questions, with in-person weight checks, exams and vaccines arranged.

Children: sick visits, rashes, asthma and allergy follow-up, and growth and development questions.

Teens: acne, periods, mood, sleep, sports and private conversations when appropriate.

Adults: preventive care, women's health, sick visits, and management of conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes and thyroid disease.

Older adults: medication reviews, chronic condition care, healthy aging, and coordination with specialists and family caregivers.

Telehealth now, in-person later

Sagebrooke starts with telehealth visits for patients located in Utah, and an in-person clinic is planned for later. Until then, when a hands-on exam, vaccine, Pap test or swab is needed, we will help you arrange it and follow up with you on the results.

Common Questions About Family Medicine for All Ages

Can my whole family see the same provider?

Yes. Family medicine is designed for that. Each person has their own visits and plan, and everyone from newborns to grandparents can see the same provider.

What ages do you care for?

All ages, from newborns to older adults. Some care for babies and young children, such as vaccines and weight checks, needs an in-person visit, which we will help you arrange.

Can a family nurse practitioner be my primary care provider?

Yes. A board-certified family nurse practitioner is trained to provide primary care for patients of all ages, including evaluating and treating illness, prescribing medication, ordering tests, managing long-term conditions, and referring to specialists when needed.

How do telehealth visits work for families?

Each visit is a video visit for one patient. For children, a parent or guardian joins. You need to be located in Utah at the time of the visit. Our telehealth page explains what to expect.

Does insurance cover family medicine visits?

Sagebrooke Family Medicine is an insurance-based practice, and we are in the process of joining insurance plans. What you pay depends on your plan, including any copay, deductible or coinsurance. Contact the practice to check whether your plan is accepted, and check with your insurer about coverage for medications, labs and imaging.
