Tiffany Ell is a Family Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Trailhead Medical Care in Anchorage, Alaska, with over 31 years of experience in healthcare. Her career began in the fire service, where she built a strong foundation in emergency response and patient care before transitioning into nursing.

She went on to work in Level I trauma centers across the lower 48 in both the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Emergency Department (ER), caring for patients in some of the most critical situations. Tiffany later became a flight nurse in Kansas City, which sparked her passion for medevac medicine. That path eventually brought her to Alaska, where she first worked as a travel nurse before returning to flight nursing for an additional seven years—an experience she found both challenging and deeply rewarding.

As a new Nurse Practitioner, Tiffany began working in rural village clinics across Alaska. It was during this time that she developed a strong interest in metabolic health and preventative medicine, recognizing the importance of addressing root causes and supporting long-term wellness.

Today, Tiffany brings together her diverse background in emergency, critical care, and rural medicine to provide thoughtful, patient-centered care. At Trailhead Medical Care, her focus is on helping patients feel their best through a proactive, personalized approach to health.
