Our lifestyle medicine approach ensures we’re looking at the whole picture of what impacts your wellbeing, including sleep, nutrition, stress, movement and more. We can encourage healthy habits to help you achieve sustainable wellness and go beyond simply treating the symptoms you bring with you to a single appointment.

Care management
You don’t have to navigate your health challenges alone. With our care management services, you can get the support you need. This no-cost benefit provides a registered nurse as your care manager to be a go-to resource for all health-related questions, prescription guidance and more. They will come up with a personalized treatment plan to help you make positive lifestyle changes to prevent, improve, manage or even reverse certain health issues.
Our treatment plans are tailored to meet your unique needs and can address a range of conditions, such as asthma, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and pre-diabetes, low back pain and more. We can provide one-on-one coaching, disease-specific education, self-care training, nutrition counseling, medication guidance and ongoing monitoring to manage your symptoms and help you stay well.
Mental health
We believe that your mental and emotional wellbeing are just as important as your physical health. With our mental health services, you can get the support you need. Your onsite Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) will actively work as part of your care team to support your overall health while making you feel safe and comfortable. You can conveniently meet with them in person or virtually, through video or by phone.
With a blended approach of counseling techniques and evidence-based talk therapy, our counseling services cover anxiety, depression, stress management, PTSD, ADHD, grief, adjustment challenges, substance abuse, work/life balance, family conflict and sleep issues.
You’re not alone. We’re here to help.
