Questions & Answers

What is Collaborative Care? 

Collaborative Care uses a research-backed approach to healthcare to improve your health. Your care is delivered by a team of experts in many different areas and includes your ordering physician, your lifestyle medicine physician, care management staff, and a psychiatrist consultant. The care management staff may include nurses, clinical social workers, health coaches, registered dietitians, exercise physiologists, yoga instructors, and fitness specialists. Most chronic diseases develop slowly over time because of our lifestyle and behavior choices. Psychiatrists are experts in human behavior and emotions and help your care team support you in reaching your goals.
