Accessible Integrative Healthcare

WeCare Retreats are breaking down the silos that separate conventional medicine from preventative medicine and holistic health therapies (i.e., bridging Eastern and Western medicine). Without needing to visit several practitioners to integrate results and information; this weekend is meant to provide you with scientifically based modern medical testing (glucose monitors, personalized labs, oxygen and sleep studies, etc.) to allow for you to establish an all-inclusive baseline of your current state of health. From there, our team of modern healthcare professionals will work in both group settings and via individual consults to collaboratively create a personalized plan to optimize and improve your healthspan!
