Gabe Heath, DO

Dr. Gabe Heath grew up in Twin Falls, Idaho. He attended medical school at the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine. Before medical school, he worked for four years as a clinical exercise physiologist at St. Luke’s Lifestyle Medicine while also coaching high school football and the local Special Olympics ski team, the Magic Valley Wildcats. His international experiences in Israel and Guatemala further shaped his motivation to pursue a career in medicine.

His path toward family medicine was influenced by his background in lifestyle medicine, his passion for coaching, and his desire to care for individuals with intellectual disabilities, inspired by his two brothers. He chose this residency program for its strong culture, supportive residents and faculty, and its emphasis on broad-scope family medicine.

Dr. Heath’s professional interests include full-scope family medicine, emergency medicine, sports medicine, wilderness medicine, and international medicine. One of his most memorable rotations so far has been hospital medicine, where the intensity and responsibility of patient care fueled his passion for residency training.

Outside of medicine, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, whether outdoors in the sun or relaxing together with a movie. He is also an avid snowboarder, basketball player, golfer, guitarist, and most recently, a backyard barbecue enthusiast thanks to his Traeger. His weekends are often filled with family, faith, and adventure. Dr. Heath will graduate in 2028.
