Why We Created Herald Health

After more than two decades in emergency medicine, Christopher Herald, MD, has seen the importance of excellent acute care—and the limitations of a system that often leaves too little time for prevention, continuity, and deeper conversations. Herald Health was created to offer another experience: careful listening, broad clinical perspective, individualized assessment, and ongoing partnership.

We believe patients deserve both sound medical judgment and the time to explore the factors shaping their health.

Founder & physician

Christopher Herald

Dr. Christopher Herald is a board-certified emergency medicine physician with more than 20 years of experience caring for patients with a wide range of complex medical needs. His work has involved extensive collaboration with medical specialists across many fields, giving him broad exposure to evolving diagnostic approaches, treatments, and advances in conventional medicine. He was recognized as Sparrow Health System Physician of the Year in 2020.

Dr. Herald has also pursued additional education and training through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), an organization that teaches a systems-based approach to evaluating how medical history, lifestyle, and other factors influence health. He brings this perspective together with his experience in traditional medicine to offer thoughtful, individualized care.

At Herald Health, Dr. Herald takes time to listen, carefully reviews past and current medical information, and works with members to make sense of complex findings and develop a clear plan for the future.
