Moving back to the mountains has been a long time goal for Dr. Atkins. In her mid 20’s she worked as a professional ski patroller at Copper Mountain and as an instructor for the Colorado Outward Bound School. She developed a passionate interest in mountain and wilderness medicine that eventually led her to pursue medicine as a career.<\/p>\n\n\n

Dr. Atkins moved to the Vail Valley from Boulder. Fortunate to have worked in such a health-minded community, her practice style has grown to be very integrative and holistic, pulling from the best of both classic western and complimentary\/alternative methods whenever possible. She enjoys working with patients of all ages, particularly adolescents, to help them optimize their health and performance through nutrition, exercise, life-style choices and stress-management.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":3668,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"tags":[],"staff-specialties":[40],"class_list":["post-3667","staff","type-staff","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","staff-specialties-family-medicine"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nJerriLu Atkins - Vail Health<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"JerriLu Atkins - Vail Health\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Moving back to the mountains has been a long time goal for Dr. Atkins.
