In today’s fast-paced and specialized world, patients look to their family practitioner for primary care and guidance. In addition to the necessary medical training and experience, the family practice doctor is also skilled in assessing and treating the family as a whole. The mind-body-spirit connection extends beyond the individual. Given the interdependent nature of families, family practitioners understand that the health or disease of one member can affect the entire family system.

This approach proves helpful in many situations, including:

• Overall lifestyle analysis
• Education regarding nutrition and/or exercise programs
• Disease prevention
• Prenatal nutrition
• Stress reduction
• Injury prevention
• Specific illness/disease concerns
• Chronic illness and its impact on the family
• Acute loss or other examples of increased stress

Midwest Wellness Center encourages family involvement in developing and maintaining healthy lifestyles leading to optimal health and life balance. With the hectic pace most families face today, we realize that change can take time and respect your efforts in moving towards your goals. Dr. Wand uses a "whole person" methodology to medicine and will work with your other healthcare providers to ensure an integrated approach to healing.
