We focus on lifestyle change

We help you stay healthy!  Whether you need condition management education or an annual physical - we can help.  Our expert practitioners provide the exams, tests and services you need to keep you and your family healthy, in convenient locations and on your schedule.  All of our patients have access to doctors, nurse practitioners, dietitians, health coaches and personal trainers to give you the best care possible.  They work with you and your primary care doctor in executing an individual care plan to keep you healthy or keep your condition from getting worse.

Getting Started

Step 1:  Understanding you.  The first step at US Wellcare is a free consultation at one of our church-based locations.  Our goal is to create a long term plan that is sustainable.  In order to do this, we must understand your unique circumstances and challenges.  This will allow us to create an personalized Wellcare plan that matches your health needs and helps you achieve your overall health goals.


Step 2: Providing a recommendation.  The next step is for us to provide recommendations of which products/services that would best suit your needs.  In most cases, this involves a combination of medical, nutrition, exercise, and behavior change solutions. We will also answer any questions you may have. 

Developing a Care Plan

When you decide to partner with us, you will meet with Medical, Nutrition, Exercise, and Behavior professionals.  These professionals will work in concert to create a Comprehensive Care Plan.  This care plan is your initial road map.  It is the basis of all of our recommendations and is the blue print for your new healthy lifestyle.
