More often than not, health care in America focuses on what to do after you receive a diagnosis. While modern medicine is responsible for incredible achievements that save lives every day, health care professionals around the world agree that prevention is still the best approach for patient health.
Preventative health care is a founding principle of the PartnerMD concierge medicine practice. As physicians and patient care providers, we believe that taking small steps to avoid health issues and chronic illness or managing illnesses with effective and low-intervention treatments provides the greatest possible quality of life for every patient.
By incorporating these lifestyle choices into our visits and preventative care assessments, our physicians use exercise, nutrition and lifestyle management practices to help our patients avoid chronic illness.
Here’s a deeper look at several ways PartnerMD approaches patient care with a preventative mindset:
Wellness-Focused Health Care
Health care is about more than treating symptoms of illness. At PartnerMD, we support true wellness with in-house professionals in nutrition, exercise and goal setting. Starting with the results of your preventative care assessment, we set a benchmark for measuring any sudden health changes and carefully monitor your progress toward your health goals.
Based on the findings, personalized preventative care services can help you avoid a medical crisis rather than simply reacting to issues as they arise.
Personalized Attention from Your Physician
At PartnerMD, every physician is supported by a highly trained team of administrative, nursing and wellness professionals. This allows your physician to focus on learning your family history, analyzing your lab results and identifying your unique risk factors.
The real result of PartnerMD’s commitment to patient health and service is the relationship that blossoms between you and your physician. Your physician has enough time to truly get to know you -- you’re not just a number in their chart, but a person that your physician comes to know, understand and care for. This valuable relationship helps our physicians maximize your health and provide personalized medical attention.
Consistent Experience at Multiple Locations
With eight locations across the East Coast, PartnerMD offers its patients an unprecedented level of convenience. But beyond providing access to advanced medical care at every office, the same smooth patient experience is delivered consistently. Patients are welcome to receive medical services at any location, and can expect the same high-quality standards, processes and approach without exception.
Partnered Approach to Improving Your Lifestyle
PartnerMD believes that every patient should have a team of people supporting them in their quest for health. Our in-house certified health coaches work hand-in-hand with your physician to provide a well-rounded and medically-supervised approach to your lifestyle improvement.
Our health coaches will take a comprehensive look at your life and overall health to develop a plan that will help meet your health goals. In addition to holding you accountable and motivating you to stay proactive about your health, your coach will report to your physician about your progress and give more context on the state of your health. This allows for your physician to be better informed about why you are experiencing physical symptoms and lead to better medical advice.
While chronic illnesses can be painful, debilitating and deadly, the medical community agrees that many times people are suffering from the lifestyle they lead rather than a specific illness they develop. This can be a frightening fact to face, but it is also empowering. So many illnesses can be prevented or better managed with the right approach to your health.
