HOW IT STARTED
Tabitha Zappone, FNP-C
Tabitha Zappone was born and raised in Riverton, Wyoming just outside of the Shoshone, Arapaho Indian Reservation. Her grandfather, a Shoshone native, was instrumental in shaping her current practice because he exposed her to traditional and holistic health care at a young age.
Tabitha lived and worked in the remote tundra of Alaska where she learned firsthand about the challenges and limitations often faced in rural health care. Additionally, she learned to incorporate her patient’s Alaskan Native traditions. When not working in Bethel she rotated at Alaska Regional Hospital and completed her training in Neurology, Cardiology and Infectious Disease. This background has enabled her to provide thorough and comprehensive Primary Care.
Tabitha opened Alpine Medical and Specialty Practices in 2016 after the primary care clinic she worked at suddenly closed. Tabitha’s goal for her current practice was “to deliver patient care the way it used to be” which means spending time getting to know her patients and providing them healthcare that is individualized, personal, holistic and respectful.
Tabitha also has a special interest in prevention and wellness as part of her approach to Primary Care. Over the years, she has found that by treating the individual from an inside-out and not outside-in approach many aliments can be improved and often reversed. She started offering a Wellness Program to her patients that provides them with education and awareness about how the body uses nutrition and exercise to provide optimum wellness. Participants learn that they can reverse illness and disease by understanding how food and lifestyle changes can heal the body.
