Bridge Health Clinic
A New Approach to Healthcare
Primary Care
and
Functional Medicine
Traditionally, the primary care model prevents a provider from spending enough time with a patient in order to gather all the details of a person’s history.
Through the combination of Direct Primary Care and Functional Medicine, a patient is able to provide his/her complete health history. This enables a provider to understand the person as a whole versus just a list of symptoms. Direct Primary Care offers a cash pay option to develop an ongoing relationship with your healthcare team to focus on preventative, acute and chronic health care concerns.
The specialty of Functional Medicine is focused on getting to know each patient’s story and developing a treatment plan that will address the root cause of a concern. We do this through a blend of lifestyle changes and complimentary alternative treatments with the use of medication as a late intervention.
This “upstream” form of treatment can help to either prevent an illness from occurring or identify the root of a person’s current symptoms. Functional medicine manages diseases in the least chemically invasive method as possible to support optimal patient outcomes.
