Treating you first, not just your symptoms.
Symptoms are important, but they are only one part of your health.
At Driftless Health, care may also consider your medical history, medications, nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, lifestyle, priorities, and goals.
Recommendations may include conventional medical treatment, preventive care, wellness support, and evidence-informed integrative or functional medicine approaches.
The goal is to create clear, realistic next steps that make sense for your health and your life.
Care shaped Around You
Some patients use Driftless Health as their primary healthcare clinic. Others continue seeing a
provider they already trust and come to Driftless Health for additional support.
Care may include:
Primary care and prevention
Focused medical visits
Medication or laboratory review
Integrative and functional medicine
Wellness and lifestyle support
Coordination with other healthcare professionals
Longer appointments are available when more time is needed, while focused visits are available for appropriate straightforward concerns.

Meet Your Provider
Jacob Schultz is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Driftless Health. His clinical background includes nearly two decades in emergency and critical care, including rural emergency care and critical care transport. Through years of caring for patients during serious illness, injury, and moments of crisis, Jacob has seen firsthand how important it is for healthcare to be timely, thoughtful, practical, and deeply personal. He has also seen how often care begins only after disease has already progressed, when long-term health also depends on prevention, early support, and attention to the broader factors that shape well-being.
Driftless Health was created from the belief that patients deserve more time, more clarity, and a care experience built around the whole person. Jacob’s approach combines conventional primary care principles with wellness-focused prevention, lifestyle support, health coaching, appropriate evaluation, and evidence-informed integrative care. He works with patients to better understand their health concerns, identify realistic next steps, and create shared care plans that reflect their goals, values, and long-term well-being.
Jacob completed his Family Nurse Practitioner education through the University of North Dakota and is currently completing a PhD focused on rural healthcare. His education and clinical experience reflect a strong commitment to improving care access, prevention, and long-term health in rural communities.
Rooted locally in Vernon County for more than 10 years, Jacob is committed to serving Viroqua and surrounding Driftless communities with care that feels personal, grounded, and connected to real life.
