~ 3 John 1:2
Our Focus
Our focus is YOU.
We See You. We Hear You.
We Believe You.
And if there ever was a day or a time to NEED to believe that YOU are the #1 resource of your health, to know how to advocate for your health and use your lifestyle (as) medicine effectively,
well...
TODAY is that day, and NOW is that time to get right!
Our What. Our How. Our Why.
Our What.
Our specialty is centering Black (African) Americans
(and other historically marginalized people and communities)
to improve their
mental, physical & spiritual health,
empowering them to
BE the resource of their health and BE AFYA!
BE AFYA~ BE You. BE Health. BE Whole in mind, body & spirit.
Prosper in ALL ways, always!!
Our How.
Our subspecialty is premium & personalized
YOU-centered,
culture & faith-integrated,
functional (root-cause),
integrative (wholistic) & precision psychiatry
and lifestyle & preventative medicine.
Your story is personal & unique, so why wouldn't your healthcare be?
Our Why?
Because Black (African) Americans, and other historically marginalized people and communities experiencing (undiagnosed & diagnosed) mental illness,
continue to die at higher rates and up to, if not more than,
20 years younger from PREVENTABLE chronic diseases & suicide!
**80% of chronic (mental & physical health) diseases & related deaths are PREVENTABLE!**
