Nextera Healthcare – Hayden

Dane Mosher is an osteopathic, board certified, family physician who joined the North Idaho DPC practice in January 2023. His approach to patient care has been well-received by the local community, due to his strong listening skills, his empathy, and his common sense approach to wellness and medical care. His goals in care are to decrease dependence on medications and to give his patients the information they need to successfully find wellness.

Dr. Mosher has been trained in functional medicine by the IFM (Institute for Functional Medicine), and was certified by them in 2015. He also has been on the board of directors of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine since 2017 and is a past-president. He has found that the tools of functional and environmental medicine have provided effective treatment plans that would otherwise have been missed by conventional methods. Areas that he
especially likes to treat are chronic fatigue, heart disease, autoimmune conditions, gastrointestinal complaints, autism, dementia, and allergies, and he would especially like to work with patients to prevent all of those conditions as much as possible.

Dr. Mosher grew up near Houston, Texas and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from New Mexico State University. He attended medical school at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, and he completed a 3 year family medicine
residency at East Tennessee State University. Dane is happy to be in North Idaho now, where he lives with his wife Ann Marie and his two children, Andy and Lance. Hobbies currently include gardening, disc golf, cold water exposure, sauna, learning Norwegian, and jigsaw puzzles.

Dr. Silakoski (Jenna Silakoski, DO, ABFM) attended both undergraduate and medical school in Ohio where she went to Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Graduating in 2012 she dedicated herself to serving our nation as she immediately took an oath as an officer in the United States Army. Serving as a Soldier and a physician, she completed her residency at the Carl R Darnall Army Medical Center in Fort Hood, TX and became a Board Certified Family Physician in 2015. Since then she has attained the rank of Major and served in many roles including Medical Director of an outpatient clinic and Officer in Charge for the Family Medicine Residency Clinic at Fort Hood as well as providing care for Soldiers and their families across the spectrum “from cradle to grave.”

As early as medical school, Dr. Silakoski saw firsthand many of the challenges that existed with traditional healthcare both in the civilian world as well as the military. Difficulties with access to care and the lack of time able to be spent with patients left her searching for a better way. As Direct Primary Care surfaced as an answer to physician and patient’s alike calling for a way to bring relationship back to medicine without the complications of insurance, Jenna seized the opportunity to bring care directly to her patients.

Dr. Julianne Cameron, DO is board certified in family medicine and osteopathic manipulative medicine. She completed her training at A.T. Still University in Kirksville, Missouri and her residency training at Canyon Vista Medical Center in Sierra Vista, AZ. She has been practicing medicine in Kootenai County since 2016.God called her to medicine when she was just 12 years old and has developed a love for medicine and people since that time. She is a firm believer in patient autonomy and loves to come alongside patients and help them achieve their health goals.She has been happily married since 2009. She and her husband love northern Idaho and the beautiful countryside. She enjoys the outdoors, reading and crocheting.

Kayla Kendall, a family nurse practitioner, graduated from George Washington University, DC, in 2024. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Anna Maria College in Massachusetts in 2016. Kayla worked at the bedside for eight years, providing comprehensive care in the cardiac intensive care unit. She managed dialysis, fresh open-heart surgery patients, heart devices, and heart failure. In 2020, she traveled to New York City to help with the strain on the healthcare system. Kayla resides in Hayden, Idaho, with her husband and son. She enjoys photography, being outdoors, and spending time with her family and dog. Kayla also has a passion for patient advocacy and providing the best possible care.

After Nikki Parquette graduated from Illinois College with Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology, she saw a news report on the Afghanistan War that stated it was the first time since the Vietnam War that U.S. battlefield deaths were on the rise. The cause? U.S. Soldiers were dying on the battlefield because there were not enough combat medics providing care to Soldiers at the time of injury. THERE WAS NO ACCESS TO CARE. Knowing she could increase that access, she enlisted in the U.S. Army as a combat medic and provided much needed support to our troops.

Once she was in the medical system, she realized that too many sick and hurting people were receiving inferior and impersonal care. THERE WAS NO CLEAR PATH TO HEALTH. So, she earned a Master’s Degree through the Interservice Physician Assistant Program with the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Physician Assistant Studies and years later, opened Spear Direct Care. Through Spear, she can serve her community the best way she knows how; by guiding people to a healthier life through easy access to superior healthcare.
