Sarah Herron
Owner, APRN, FNP-C
Sarah is a board-certified nurse practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare and a deep passion for helping patients feel truly well — not just treated. Her path into integrative medicine began not only through years of clinical practice, but through her own personal health journey. When traditional approaches failed to provide lasting answers, she discovered a more comprehensive, whole-person approach to care — one focused on optimizing health rather than simply managing symptoms.
That experience changed everything.
Sarah began her career as a certified nurse’s aide and went on to earn her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Chamberlain College of Nursing. Her early work in emergency medicine provided invaluable insight into acute care, but it also revealed the limitations of a system built around quick visits and reactive solutions. She saw firsthand how little time was left to address prevention, lifestyle, and long-term wellness — and she knew patients deserved more.
Today, Sarah practices integrative medicine, working alongside traditional healthcare to help patients optimize their health at a deeper level. Rather than replacing conventional care, her approach fills in the gaps — focusing on hormone balance, metabolic health, nutrition, lifestyle, and preventative strategies that support the body as a whole.
Serving the Central Illinois community and beyond, Sarah is passionate about creating a healthcare experience rooted in education, collaboration, and personalized care. Her goal is to help patients feel their best, improve their quality of life, and support long-term health — not just now, but for years to come.
Traditional healthcare plays a critical role in treating illness, injuries, and emergencies — but too often, it stops there. Appointments are short, symptoms are managed, and there’s little time to address prevention or the root causes of health concerns.
At Salus Health + Wellness, we take a different approach.
We believe true health is more than simply the absence of disease. It’s about creating balance within the body, supporting long-term vitality, and helping you feel your best at every stage of life. Our care model is proactive, personalized, and rooted in functional and lifestyle medicine.
We don’t replace traditional healthcare — we complement it by filling in the gaps. For patients who want deeper answers, sustainable results, and a partnership in their health, Salus is where symptom management turns into true wellness.
