Becoming a Patient
We remove traditional barriers to accessibility, and provide a patient-centered approach to healthcare by empowering our patients with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve their desired health outcomes.
What We Provide
-
Ongoing Care
Ongoing care is provided for patients with chronic conditions such diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, etc. This includes medication monitoring, educating patients on nutrition, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle habits.
-
Specialists & Diagnostics
AWC is fortunate to have specialists who can treat a wide-range of medical conditions. However, referrals to outside specialists and diagnostics are offered when the patient requires more than what we can provide.
-
Holistic Health
AWC believes in treating the whole patient and has adopted a holistic approach to healthcare. Mental health care and stress management services are provided to patients who need this type of healthcare support.
