Meet Cassidy Chavez, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC
Cassidy is a board certified family nurse practitioner, with experience in primary care, functional medicine, and urgent care.
She established her first primary care clinic, New Horizons Family Clinic & Wellness Center in Pharr, TX, in 2019. Her goal was to integrate effective functional medicine practices into everyday primary care. Cassidy's commitment to enhancing access to top-notch integrative primary care led her to open a second location in Edinburg, TX, in 2023.
​
Driven by her dedication to combating the high rates of type 2 diabetes in the RGV, she concentrated her doctoral research at the University of Texas at Austin on improving type 2 diabetes (T2D) management through strategic nutritional interventions. Her research, titled "Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Low Carbohydrate Intervention for the Management of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) Through Retrospective Chart Review," based on her patient data, highlighted the vital role of tailored nutrition interventions in T2D management. Her findings advocated for a paradigm shift towards addressing the root cause in T2D management.
Throughout her practice, Cassidy frequently utilized IV hydration to prevent hospitalizations, address micronutrient deficiencies, and promote overall well-being. What began as a minor clinic initiative blossomed into NUMI hydration, a trendy “starbucksy” lounge. Here, individuals can easily, comfortably, and affordably access IV hydration and essential vitamins.

In Collaboration with Dr. Umer Ahmed, Cassidy is making IV hydration accessible to all.
