We had the good fortune of connecting with Cassie Gifford and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cassie, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
After working in the medical field for so many years and seeing the trajectory of patient care I became discouraged. In opening my own practice I am able to care for and treat patients in the manner I would wish to be cared for both as a human and as a patient.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I named the clinic Divergent Health Clinic which means different. My goal is to do and teach health and wellness different. I want to meet patients where they are in their health journey and provide insite and simple tools for wellness. I am excited to grow and expand this with each new experience and patient as we are all different and have different health care needs.

I have been wanting to start my own practice for years now but with life it just kept getting pushed to the backburner. Different obstacles would jump in the way and it would take time to navigate them. Thanksfully over the years my career has lead to multiple positions that have provided insite and education into the obstacles I was navigating. I finally just decided there will never be a “right time” and that I needed to move forward with my dream.

The biggest thing I would want everyone to know is how much we care and want ultimate wellness for our patients. No matter where you are in the journey, we truley want to see you reach your health goals and we want to partner with you on the path to wellness.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Oh goodness; it would be something that was in the mountains, with horses, small cabins, nightly fires with smores, local food and fun cocktails and hiking!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Over the years I have had a few that have really impacted me in the career and business realm. First and formost is the Bible and how Jesus calls us to use our gifts to love others. My gift is compassion and this is such a large part of my career it has really shaped the provider I wanted to be. Got Health was another that started my health and wellness journey. More recently, OUTLIVE is amazing for health and longevity as well as Rich Dad Poor Dad for money mindset
