The goal of the clinic is to help people achieve their health goals, give individuals more years of activity and good health across their lifespans, and deprescribe medication as much as possible. Visitors benefit from a care team, including doctors, advanced practice clinicians and a clinical pharmacist, who collaborate with them on their medical history and specific health targets.
