Our Vision

The time for reactionary medicine has ended and a proactive wellness approach with other community physicians is needed. We need to build a strong resource of creative ideas and medical professionals who believe that “healthy” matters. Part of the answer to a healthy life lies in having accessible, affordable, and healthy food options. Medical teams need to realize that a healthy diet heals a body and is an integral component most frequently overlooked in the complex nature of the medicine. It is time to move from Conventional Medicine — which is extremely effective in acute problems, such as, trauma and fractures — to Lifestyle Medicine. Unlike Conventional Medicine, where patients are often a passive recipient of care, Lifestyle Medicine treats the cause of the disease process, and patients are active partners in their care. This is the new path and leadership vision I bring to the practice.

Please see our Sustainability Policy, Gender-Based Violence Policy, and Domestic Violence Policy. DFALC has emphasized the need for gender diversity and placed it under the spotlight. We have taken steps towards gender equality and gender-inclusive practices, through implementing measures such as training for leadership and management.
