“If you can meet with a team and you really talk about it and how it relates to you, what would happen to me? What would I need to do? What tests would I have to do, it seems like it becomes more approachable. These are smaller steps then you realize the team’s gonna help you manage them.”
The clinic has collaborated with local healthcare providers. This allows for increased testing and patient care coordination.
