Do you have a cardiovascular condition? Would personal partnerships and clinical guidance help you make healthy, sustainable changes for a new sense of wellbeing? This group visit program offers you clinical and peer support for your journey to optimal health along with access to integrative treatment modalities that foster improved cardiac health.
The Integrative Cardiology Medical Group Visit program is for individuals with a cardiovascular condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or coronary artery disease, who share a commitment to making lifestyle changes for more vibrant health. Patients can participate in up to five distinct modules. Each module consists of four weekly group visits.
Group visits are medical appointments that bring together multiple patients who have a common medical interest – often related to a chronic condition – to meet with clinicians for care and information. Participants benefit from extended time with providers and learn from the questions and experiences of other patients who are dealing with similar health issues.
This program will offer participants insights and experiences in food and nutrition, health coaching, acupuncture, Tai Chi, mindfulness, and naturopathic medicine approaches such as advanced cardiovascular lab work, herbs, and recommended supplements that are safe and supported by science. You will be introduced to a group of expert providers who will guide and accompany you on your new path. Join us for this empowering group experience!
