NuMed Primary Care: Thoughtful medicine, extended visits, and direct access to your clinician — with a focus on prevention, metabolic health, and lifelong wellness.
Relationship-Based Primary Care — Without Insurance Barriers
A membership-based primary care model that removes insurance barriers and allows more time for real care.
Our practice is intentionally kept small so we can spend more time with each patient.
NuMed provides comprehensive primary care grounded in evidence-based medicine and long-term relationships with our patients.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) with a Lifestyle Medicine approach
NuMed combines the Direct Primary Care model with a strong focus on prevention and lifestyle medicine. By keeping our patient panel small, we are able to spend more time understanding the underlying factors that influence health, including nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, and metabolic health.
Our goal is not only to treat illness when it occurs, but to help patients build and maintain long-term health.
Benefits Beyond a Traditional Practice
We make it easy to get the care you need. Using a direct primary care (DPC) model, we keep our practice small so we can be there for you whenever you need us, and take the time to address your questions, concerns, problems, or simply to provide reassurance. You’ll have an advocate by your side, and the guidance and support you need for changing lifestyle habits.

Lifestyle Management
NuMed also offers additional services for patients interested in deeper health optimization, including nutrition and weight management coaching, wearable device integration, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). These services allow for a more comprehensive approach to long-term health.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine delves deeply into uncovering the underlying causes of health issues. We meticulously examine comprehensive patient histories, lifestyles, and environmental factors to design individualized treatment strategies. These plans encompass dietary adjustments, supplement recommendations, stress reduction techniques, and other interventions, surpassing the scope of traditional primary care.

NuMed and Adam and Dara Courchaine are the best most conscientious medical providers I have ever trusted my care and the care of my children with. I am a... Read More “doctor mom” (not a real doc) of 5 kids and I’m super involved in my wellbeing and theirs. It is hard to find a provider anywhere who I feel cares as much about my little tribe as I do. They’re all about the whole person. Whole health, and truly thriving rather than just fixing sickness. I would recommend Adam to anyone. And have. My hope is to send him so many patients he has to stop taking new ones. He’s that good. Dara too. From regular stuff to the tough stuff I feel like I have a true ally in a primary care provider, and one who really listens to me and respects my feelings and worries doesn’t talk to me like I’m a child nor does he pat my head and tell me not to question. He talks me through anything I need to talk through and he helps me look for answers til I find them. Direct Primary Care IS the way to find a provider who isn’t just cranking out visits. And Adam is the best of them all.
