Dr. Jeff Horacek is the founder and medical director of Healthy Connections in Hood River, Oregon. For over 20 years, Dr. Jeff Horacek spends each day helping people transform their health. Board certified in Internal Medicine in 1995 after graduating with honors from the U. of Oklahoma Medical School, he served as Chief Resident at Providence Portland from 1995-96.
After attending the Applying Functional Medicine to Clinical Practice conference in 2015, Dr. Horacek found his passion. In 2020, after months of intense preparation and study, he became an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (IFMCP). The centerpiece of Functional Medicine is the “whole person approach,” and this is how Jeff treats patients with complicated, unrelenting chronic illnesses. He implements the latest in scientific and medical breakthroughs to advance the healing of his patients, with individualized care for each one. While he knew he was helping people using traditional Internal Medicine protocols, implementing a Functional approach has resulted in powerful and positive health improvements for patients who had been suffering for years.
