The Who, What, and Why of Thrive Health
We invite you to dive a bit deeper into
Thrive Health and learn who we are, what we do, and our mission behind the medicine. More than a clinic,
Thrive Health DPC was built to change the way healthcare feels by removing the red tape, focusing on the whole person, and creating space where prevention, trust, and lasting wellness come first.
Monique McGaffeny, MSN, FNP-BC, DipACLM
Hi, I’m Monique McGaffeny, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and founder of Thrive Health DPC. I created this practice with one mission: to provide personalized, accessible, and preventive care that empowers you to live your healthiest life.
Alongside primary care, I integrate Lifestyle Medicine into every plan, focusing on nutrition, movement, stress management, and sustainable habits that support long-term wellness. My goal is to not only treat illness, but to help prevent it and guide patients toward lasting health.
Outside of caring for patients, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, cooking, traveling, hiking the beautiful Pacific Northwest trails, staying active through fitness, and always exploring new things to learn and experience.
