Taylor Drew Smith MSPH, PA-C

Physician Assistant

As a native of Idaho Falls, Taylor is excited to practice in this wonderful town and serve the community that gave so much to him in his youth. He became interested in healthcare at a very young age after having the opportunity to work at his grandfather’s pharmacy in Idaho Falls, Eastgate Drug. Taylor finds great satisfaction in building trusting and lasting relationships with those he sees, and finds the most joy when medical decisions can be shared between the patient and provider.

He loves being a part of the healthcare team at The Healing Sanctuary and working with the integrative medical approach they provide. Taylor believes that health is so much more than just physical wellness, and includes emotional, social, spiritual, and communal well-being as well.

Joseph Armbruster, APRN, MSN, FNP-BC

Family Nurse Practitioner

Joseph was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri and lived there for 38 years. He chose nursing as a way to help others, and began his nursing career working in neurosurgery patient care and neurology research. He met his future wife and  moved to Elko, Nevada where Joseph continued working for 14 years before getting his Family Nurse Practitioner degree at Purdue University. 

As a Family Nurse Practitioner, Joseph enjoyed working with children in a pediatric clinic. He felt that his purpose was to help others better their lives physically by sharing the wisdom and knowledge he had acquired in his medical practices.
