You became a clinician to improve people's health — not to build an entire company from scratch.
FHP gives independent functional and integrative practitioners the shared EMR, administrative, and community infrastructure to build and run your own practice — while keeping it entirely yours.
Build your own practice. Don't build everything from scratch.
Your practice stays yours. FHP provides the infrastructure.
Starting and running an independent practice means figuring out a lot of things that have little to do with the actual work you want to do. FHP gives you shared infrastructure, tools, templates, compliance resources, administrative support, and a community of other practitioners who are figuring it out alongside you.
You build the practice. We help you avoid having to build everything around it.
Shared practice infrastructure plus an entrepreneurial community
FHP brings together many of the systems and support you need to run an independent functional or integrative practice: a shared EMR environment, care manager support for labs and administrative tasks, onboarding support, compliance resources and guidance, and a community of practitioners doing this work alongside you.
Shared EMR Infrastructure
A shared CharmHealth EHR environment with functional intake forms, charting templates, lab-order workflows, and other resources that can be adapted to the needs of your practice.
Care Manager Support
Dedicated help with specialty lab processing, client result delivery, and administrative coordination — real people who take tasks off your plate.
Operational Guidance
Practical help with onboarding, workflows, compliance, fee structures, and the day-to-day questions that come with running an independent practice — from people who are using these systems in real practices.
Collaborative Network
A community of independent practitioners where members can ask questions, share experience and resources, and learn from one another as they build their practices.
Independence doesn't have to mean doing everything yourself.
There are plenty of ways to practice independently. You can build every piece yourself, hire consultants to help you figure it out, assemble a collection of software, or join an organization that already has the infrastructure in place.
FHP takes a different approach: you own and run your practice, while sharing the infrastructure, resources, support, and community behind it.
Instead of building everything yourself
You can find an EMR, set up your workflows, research compliance, create forms and policies, figure out billing and payments, and solve each new operational problem as it comes up.
With FHP, much of that groundwork has already been done — and you have people to turn to when the next question comes up.
More than software
An EMR and a collection of apps can give you the tools to run a practice. They don't necessarily give you the workflows, shared resources, administrative support, or people behind them.
FHP brings those pieces together in a shared system designed around independent functional and integrative practices.
More than consulting
A consultant can help you decide what to do. FHP gives you an infrastructure you can actually operate within — along with practical guidance as your practice develops.
Without giving up your independence
Joining an established practice or organization can provide infrastructure too, but you're operating within someone else's practice.
With FHP, the practice you are building remains your own — your brand, your patients, your schedule, and your clinical approach.
Built for practitioners who want an independent practice without having to build every piece of it alone.
FHP is designed for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and functional health coaches who want to build and run their own practice while sharing the infrastructure behind it.
It can be especially useful for practitioners building a small, focused practice or micropractice — where keeping overhead manageable matters just as much as having the right systems in place.
You can start with the EMR, workflows, compliance resources, administrative support, and community you need now, without first assembling all of those pieces on your own.
Keep your practice your own
You choose how you practice, who you serve, how you structure your schedule, and how your practice grows. FHP supports the infrastructure around those decisions.
Start with shared systems
Use an established EMR environment, shared workflows, templates, resources, and administrative support rather than creating every system from scratch.
Build at your own pace
FHP works for practitioners starting small as well as those growing an established practice. The goal isn't to force you into a particular model — it's to make independence more manageable.
Work alongside other independent practitioners
You remain responsible for your own practice, but you don't have to operate in isolation. FHP gives members a community where they can share experience, ask questions, and learn from one another.
A good fit for some independent practitioners — not necessarily everyone.
FHP works best for practitioners who want to build and run their own practice while sharing some of the infrastructure, resources, and support behind it.
FHP may be a good fit if…
- You want your own independent practice but don't want to build every operational system from scratch.
- You're a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or functional health coach practicing in the U.S.
- You want control over your pricing, schedule, approach, and the way you run your practice.
- You're starting small and want to keep overhead manageable — or you already have a practice and want stronger shared infrastructure and support.
- You value having other independent practitioners to learn from, ask questions of, and work alongside.
FHP may not be the right fit if…
- You're looking for employment, a salaried position, or someone else to run the business for you.
- You want a turnkey practice with patients, branding, and business decisions already made for you.
- You want to operate completely independently without shared systems, workflows, or community.
- You need services or support outside the areas FHP currently provides.
- You're practicing outside the U.S. or outside the professional scopes FHP currently supports.
