Brooke’s background includes years of experience in pediatric intensive care and case management, where she developed a deep understanding of the complexities of children’s health.
But over time, she began to notice something missing in traditional healthcare.
Too often, providers were focused on managing symptoms without exploring the underlying causes of illness.
That realization led Brooke to pursue a more integrative and functional approach to pediatric care — one that looks at the whole child.
At the heart of Rooted Pediatric Healthcare is Brooke MacTaggart, a board-certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping children and families thrive.
A Whole-Child Approach
Functional pediatric care considers the many factors that influence health, including:
Nutrition
Gut health
Environmental exposures
Sleep

Emotional wellbeing
Lifestyle habits
By connecting these pieces together, Brooke helps families better understand their child’s health and create personalized strategies for long-term wellness.

A Small Town Commitment
As the only pediatric provider of this kind in the area, Brooke is passionate about making holistic pediatric care accessible to families in rural communities.
Families often travel from neighboring towns because they want a provider who:
• listens carefully
• takes time with each visit
• offers natural and preventative health guidance
At Rooted Pediatric Healthcare, families aren’t just patients — they’re part of the community.
