NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS INTO OUR MEMBERSHIP PLAN.
A growing health and wellness community where patients are empowered to live their best life—and where providers are supported to practice medicine with balance, integrity, and autonomy.
Phoenix Rising Family Medicine began not as a business plan, but as a burnout story turned into a blueprint for healing.
After years in a conventional medical clinic, Family Nurse Practitioner Dani Dupuis realized the system was unsustainable—for both patients and providers. In just over a year, she had gained 30 pounds, become pre-diabetic, and watched her passion for medicine fade under a model obsessed with volume over value.
With her husband, Joel Dupuis, PMHNP, they founded Phoenix Rising Family Medicine—a clinic designed to honor the human side of healthcare. Together, they built a model that values quality over quantity, protects rest and family life, and re-centers medicine on relationships.
What started in a 500 sq ft space has grown into a vibrant, multi-disciplinary team serving our community with primary care, psychiatry, health coaching, and burnout recovery for women.

Born in Oregon, I love all things outdoors. From backpacking to kayaking and mountain biking, you’ll find my family in the mountains during our beautiful Oregon summers. I knew I was going to be a nurse at age 12. I completed my bachelor's in nursing At OHSU in 2007 and spent eight years in acute care before graduating from Gonzaga University in 2015 with my master's in nursing. As a nurse practitioner, I struggled to find joy and satisfaction as a provider in the healthcare system. In 2016, my Husband Joel and I founded PRFM to create a space where providers have autonomy to deliver individualized care. This empowers providers to partner with their patients and make wellness goals a reality. I love my role at Phoenix Rising Family Medicine because we continue to create a unique setting where this partnership is possible.
My desire to become a Nurse practitioner started in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where I was a bedside nurse for almost 10 years. As a Staff Nurse in the ICU, Resource Nurse to my peers, and Rapid Response Nurse for the entire hospital, I have seen firsthand how chronic disease and lifestyle choices affect patients and their families. My experience, coupled with my passion, has brought me right where I want to be.
I was born in Idaho, raised on the Oregon Coast and spent 16 of my adult years in Montana. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to return to the beautiful state I loved and missed, and have been back for 9 years. I have two fabulous kids, Ethan (currently attending OSU), and Sighni (a ballet and Irish dancer), and the most amazing husband I could ever ask for!
I have 4 children: Braden, Kaeden, Cadence, and Korrin. I am happily married to my amazing husband, Kevin of 11 years and we currently have a small piece of Heaven in Stayton. My family and I enjoy camping, riding dirt bikes, and riding in our side by side; basically anything outdoors! My family is one of the most important things to me and we are all very close.
As a small, tight-knit office, our care providers and service desk staff work together to give each and every patient uncommon communication and support.
