ELEVATE HEALTH Our Primary Care Membership Plan

At Elevate Health, your primary care and family medicine provider addresses your healthcare needs at all stages of life, including health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance, counseling, patient education, and diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses. Your provider is your first stop for evaluation of undiagnosed symptoms, and is a focal point for all needed health care services. 

Personalized Medical Care

Because we keep our patient panel size small, we are able to spend more time with you and to get to know you as the unique individual that you are in order to provide more personalized service. While a physician in a typical primary care clinic will be responsible for the care of 1000-2000 patients, we limit our primary care practice to 400 patients. This ensures that each person gets individualized attention and easier access.

Elevate Health providers learn to understand your unique perspective, needs and preferences. They enjoy, and are experienced in, caring for people of all ages - from newborns to the elderly.

Primary care at Elevate Health:

• Provides comprehensive annual preventive exams with appropriate screening diagnostics.
• Addresses urgent issues such as acute infections and injuries.
• Evaluates, diagnoses and treats chronic symptoms and health concerns with a functional medicine “root cause” approach.
• Assesses the need for specialist consultation and refers to recommended providers.
• Reviews, interprets and clarifies specialist findings and recommendations.
• Communicates with specialists to coordinate care.
• Prescribes and monitors chronic medications and supplements.
• Provides patient advocacy.
• Provides health education.
• Coordinates your care with our nutrition counselor and health coach. Because your lifestyle choices are vital to the health you experience, Elevate Health provides nutritional counseling and health coaching as part of your wellness plan.
• Coordinates your care with our psychologist, massage therapist and acupuncturist if you are utilizing their services. 
• Responds in a timely way to communications and requests, and expedites processing of referrals and prior authorizations.
