reducing barriers to healthcare promotes overall wellness

What is Healthcare?


Healthcare is the maintenance or improvement of health through the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, recovery, or cure of illness or injuries.


Holistic Preventive Care


  • Vaccinations
  • Regular Check-ups
  • Mental Health Visits
  • Healthy Lifestyle
  • Counseling & Education


Barriers to Seeking Healthcare


  • Busy schedules, time constraints
  • Unable to get appointment
  • Healthcare Professionals Shortages
  • Negative stigmas
  • Finances
  • Fear


Care your way, at your preferred time


  • Convenient Self-Scheduling
  • Access to care 7 days/week
  • Comprehensive services
  • Top quality clinicians
  • Virtual & In-person visits


Patient self-scheduling increases patient satisfaction, patient time-saving, and convenience (Woodcock, 2022).


Fighting the Stigma


Stigma can be a significant barrier to accessing healthcare, especially for those with mental illness or substance use issues.


Many individuals have been judged for various reasons or mistreated in the past, causing fear of seeking care.


Comfortable human-centered medical office designs can enhance the patient experience and aid mental health recovery (Sui et al., 2023).


Finances


Healthcare can be expensive, and costs are rising. Affordability can reduce the challenges.


  • In network with many major insurances
  • Fair, straightforward pricing
  • Self-pay pricing lower than primary care or urgent cares
  • HSA/FSA accepted


Patient-Centered Care


Working together with you to optimize your health!
