As 2024 draws to a close, we’re looking back and reflecting on what has proven to be a most remarkable year here at PROVOKE Health. The past dozen months have been become a year full of growth, transformation, and groundbreaking initiatives. All of it driven by our mission of collaborating with patients to rekindle their confidence and improve their resiliency by creating and co-managing personalized treatment plans that address complex and often chronic health problems.
Here’s a look back at the milestones that made 2024 a pivotal year for both PROVOKE Health and more important, our patients.
Launching the PROVOKE Health Brand
In 2024, we unveiled the PROVOKE Health brand, marking a new chapter in our commitment to improving lives through a unique blend of allopathic, functional, and integrative medicine. Our name embodies our approach: provoking positive change in health, challenging outdated medical norms, and empowering patients to take control of their wellness journeys.
The launch of our new brand was further amplified by our website. Designed with you in mind, it serves as an educational hub and a gateway to our approach to healthcare, blending functional, integrative, and holistic medicine. With features like an online appointment scheduler, insights into the conditions we treat and our services, and highly informative blog posts, our website is an important component of the PROVOKE Health experience.
Welcoming our Medical Director: Dr. Karalynne Blochberger
This year, we expanded our leadership team by welcoming Dr. Karalynne Blochberger, MD as PROVOKE Health’s Medical Director. Affectionately known as Dr. B., she brings a wealth of experience and a shared passion for functional medicine. Her patient-focused approach and expertise in treating complex and chronic conditions have already made a significant impact on our practice. Under her guidance, we’re better equipped than ever to deliver transformative personalized healthcare.
Supporting Dr. B and our founder, Dr. Matt Lewis, are Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Cara Palermo, Administrative Coordinator Margaret Palmer, and Lutz clinic Administrative Assistant Elizabeth “Liz” Russo. Suffice it to say, PROVOKE Health wouldn’t be where it is today without the extraordinary efforts and skills that Cara, Margaret, and Liz bring to the team!
Opening Our Lutz Clinic
In 2024, we officially opened the doors to our flagship functional medicine clinic in Lutz, Florida. This facility was thoughtfully conceived to provide a welcoming, patient-first environment. Our Lutz clinic, which is in the same building as Full Life Chiropractic, offers a full suite of functional medicine services, including IV infusion therapies, joint injections, diagnostic testing, and space for our doctors and nurse practitioners to collaborate with patients on their personalized treatment plans.
The response has been encouraging and we’re thrilled to be part of a local community that’s dedicated to health and wellness. Whether you’re visiting us for the first time or returning for ongoing care, we’re committed to providing a healthcare experience that exceeds expectations.
Introducing Medically-Supervised IV Therapy
One of the most exciting additions to PROVOKE Health this year has been our medically-supervised IV therapy program. Delivered with precision and care, IV therapy provides fast and effective results for hydration, nutrient replenishment, and targeted treatments for specific conditions.
Whether your plan of care addresses a complex and chronic condition or you’re seeking relief from fatigue, support for recovery, a boost to your immune system, or cutting edge treatment for joint repair and pain relief (peptide therapy), our IV therapy options are tailored to meet your unique needs. It’s been rewarding to see patients benefit from this innovative approach to wellness.
Launching a Trial Insurance Program for Select Treatments
In an effort to make functional medicine more accessible, we initiated a trial insurance program for select treatments in 2024. This pilot program is bridging the gap between traditional insurance coverage and the personalized care we provide at PROVOKE Health.
By selectively integrating this option, we hope to expand access to treatments that address the root causes of illness while maintaining our high standards of individualized care. Feedback from this trial will guide future decisions as we strive to meet the needs of our diverse patient community.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we celebrate these achievements, we’re already looking ahead to the future. The coming year promises to bring even more advancements in the care and services we offer. From expanding our team to introducing new therapies and making functional and integrative healthcare more affordable, we will continue to focus on pushing the boundaries of what healthcare can be and should achieve.
Thank you for being part of the PROVOKE Health journey. Your trust and support inspire us every day to provide compassionate, innovative care that targets the root causes of illness, and not merely the symptoms. Here’s to your health and wellness in 2025 and beyond!
