Our Services

We use a collaborative model of care that recognizes that no single professional discipline is able to meet all the health-related needs of individuals and communities. Although nurse practitioners are our primary providers, they work with a team of physician collaborators, health educators, community outreach programs, nutritionists, counselors, and students/interns to help clients achieve optimum health and well-being. Faculty and students from the School of Nursing, from the Departments of Public Health Sciences, Languages, English, Business, and other disciplines support and enhance our services. These services include the following:
