About Us
Empowering patients to take control of their health is at the core of everything we do at Trident Healthcare. Located currently in Melbourne, Florida, but opening in Satellite Beach, Florida early September, our practice offers a blend of personalized medical care and wellness-focused treatments designed to meet you where you are in your journey. Whether you're seeking support for weight management, IV therapy, aesthetic treatments, or lifestyle-based care, our team is here to guide you with experience and compassion. We believe in looking at the full picture—your history, goals, and challenges—to provide care that’s truly tailored. At Trident Healthcare, wellness isn’t a destination; it’s a way of life we help you embrace every day.
Trident Healthcare was started after Tamara spent nearly two decades in the healthcare profession. During that time, she has seen how our fast-paced and need-for-immediate-results world we live in has had a negative impact on healthcare, specifically when it comes to empathy, willingness to listen, and a lack of concern. Trident Healthcare is a community-based practice that believes in treating patients as we would members of our own family. Here, you are not a number or an insurance claim, but someone we wish to provide a better quality of life for. Tamara’s vision was to create a place where care feels personal again—where time is taken to understand the whole person, not just the symptoms.
It is the mission of Trident Healthcare to provide the highest level of care possible through current and tested treatment methods with the development of patient/provider partnerships. All team members of Trident Healthcare will treat each patient with courtesy, compassion, dignity, and respect. We believe that healthcare should be a collaborative journey, where patients feel heard, empowered, and involved in their treatment plans. By fostering trust and communication, our goal is to not only treat existing health concerns but to support long-term wellness and prevention. Every decision we make is guided by a commitment to personalized care, clinical integrity, and improving the overall quality of life for those we serve.
Hello everyone! I’m Tamara Snider and a Nurse Practitioner with Trident Healthcare. I would like to tell you a little bit about myself and how I like to practice medicine. I began my career in healthcare with Brevard County Fire Rescue as a firefighter-paramedic. I served Brevard County residents in that capacity for nearly 11 years where I developed a genuine passion for treating the infirm. My compassion and empathy for those in need of medical attention led me to nursing school, which provided me the opportunity of having more of an impact in their health and welfare.
As a registered nurse, I worked at several hospitals within the county for nearly 5 years. While working as a nurse, I furthered my education and ability to serve by obtaining a Master’s of Nursing degree and becoming a nurse practitioner. I had a wonderful opportunity to work in a local family practice for 4 years where I developed many relationships and partnerships with those I treated. Yes, I did say partnerships
.One of the core values and pillars of my treatment plans are having partnerships with patients in the development, implementation and follow-up of their care. I do not subscribe to the philosophy of carousel healthcare where patient treatment is designed to add unnecessary visits, tests, or a list of medications. A partnership of medical care is a more successful healthcare goal that gives patients say-so and buy-in for their overall health and wellness.
Hi everyone! My name is Elizabeth Gminski and I am excited to join the Trident Healthcare family! Just a little bit about myself - I felt called to the nursing profession in high school and haven’t looked back. I graduated in 2009 with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree and worked in Labor & Delivery/Post-partum/post-surgical GYN Services for several years. While working in the hospital setting, I found I love teaching and providing evidence-based patient education that empowers individuals and families to make the best decisions for their health care.
I felt that I wanted to “do more” within my profession, which led me to obtain my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree in 2016 to become a certified Family Medicine Nurse Practitioner. I am fortunate to have lived and practiced in several states which has given me the opportunity to care for a variety of patient demographics. Working in different clinical settings including chronic pain management, clinical research, college health, aesthetics, several urgent care practices – including in-home urgent care services, Primary Care focusing on the military Veteran and military family population has given me a unique perspective on the American healthcare system as a whole. I feel too often traditional medical care compartmentalizes and focuses on “sick care” versus treating the whole person as a unique individual with personal health goals.
As a Primary Care Provider, I strive to provide personalized and compassionate care while encouraging patients to take an active role in directing their medical care. I am passionate about preventative wellness, mitigating chronic illnesses and teaching patients how to care for their physical, emotional and mental health to enjoy a happy and fulfilling life.
Personalized care meets advanced treatment at Trident Healthcare. We take the time to understand your goals and create a plan that fits your unique needs—whether it's wellness, primary care needs, or psychiatric needs.
