Monica JacobusMD, Co-Founder
Dr. Monica Jacobus is a board-certified general surgeon and the co-founder of the Anacortes Center for Integrative & Functional Medicine. Her path in medicine began with a traditional foundation—earning her M.D. from Saint Louis University School of Medicine and completing a five-year general surgery residency at Saint Joseph Mercy Hospital, a Level I Trauma Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Over the years, Dr. Jacobus practiced in hospitals and clinics across the country, caring for patients in both large health systems and small community settings. These diverse experiences deepened her understanding of the strengths of conventional medicine, while also revealing the need for a more holistic, personalized approach—one that considers not only the body, but the mind, environment, and relationships that shape health.

Her philosophy blends the precision of modern surgical training with a commitment to whole-person care. At the Anacortes Center, she envisions a “home” for both patients and practitioners—a place where medicine, nutrition, and human connection form the foundation for lasting wellness.

Dr. Jacobus is deeply committed to equity and community health and believes healing happens best in partnership. Through her work, she strives to create space for listening, learning, and empowering each individual to engage in their own healing journey.

At Anacortes Integrative Medicine, we believe true health begins with connection—between systems, between science and intuition, and between provider and patient. Our mission is to bridge the gap between traditional medicine and functional healing by addressing the root causes of imbalance and guiding the body back toward optimal function.

Founded by Monica Jacobus, MD the clinic combines the precision of modern diagnostics with the depth of holistic care. We integrate functional lab testing, low-level laser therapy, breath work, nutrition, movement, and nervous system regulation to create individualized care plans that restore vitality from the inside out.

Our team is committed to redefining healthcare through a collaborative, whole-person model that empowers patients to take an active role in their healing. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, recovering from injury, or pursuing optimal wellness, we provide the knowledge, tools, and support to help you thrive.

At Anacortes Integrative Medicine, modern medicine meets mindful healing rooted in compassion, science, and a shared belief in the body’s innate capacity to heal. We are a locally rooted integrative medicine clinic in Anacortes, Washington, serving individuals and families across Skagit County.
