Daily Inter Lake out of Kalispell, MT announced the opening of Bluebird Health. Dr. Daniel Gragert is the owner and physician at Bluebird Health. At the beginning of 2021, Dr. Gragert was considering several job offers in the traditional system of medicine when he received devastating news: a cancer diagnosis. During his treatments for melanoma, Dr. Gragert experienced firsthand the frustrations felt by patients trying to navigate the healthcare system.

I was so appalled at how inhumane the whole thing was. I just wanted my doctor to call me and he never did. And the whole thing just lacked any kind of humanity. It made me look at how I also practice medicine.

Through his own personal experience, Dr. Gragert realized he wanted to practice medicine in a more intimate and meaningful way with his own patients, and he also wanted to spend time with his own family.

Dr. Gragert believes that conventional medicine canhelp supplement a healthy life. However, it is only a part in a much a bigger picture.
Conventional medicine can help the body heal or prevent disease, but it has limitations.
Health and wellness cannot be defined or supported through simple lab-tests alone. Dr. Gragert knows that every person is unique and individual. For this reason, their care
should be unique, individual and encompass all aspects of wellness. From the physical
to the emotional. Being a cancer survivor, he understands that the power of human
kindness and connection can be more powerful than the most potent medicine.

Welcome to the DPC family Dr. Gragert. DPC is not only good for patients, it is also good physicians and their families.
