Desert Women's Health Mission Statement

Desert Women’s Health is a collaboration of multiple health professionals joined together in the common goal to improve health through nutrition, exercise, behavioral modification, and mental well-being. (The three hills or mountains in our logo represent the three modalities used: psychology; nutrition; and exercise. It is our goal to help the individual learn how to use all three to improve their health, and that of their families.) Our philosophy is to approach the person as a whole. All of the care givers are recognized specialists in their particular fields. In addition, they are all responsible, kind, concerned and caring individuals.

Our panel consists of a medical doctor, nutritionists, dieticians, exercise physiologists, psychologists, and a physical therapist. Uniquely, they all happen to be women, and so have a first hand understanding of the specific challenges and problems that women face throughout their lives. (It should be understood that male clients are also welcome.)

The weight loss, stress, and fibromyalgia rheumatica programs are uniquely tailored to the individual. Each expert on the panel meets with the patient on an individual basis, and then they have a multidisciplinary meeting to optimize and implement treatment plans. It is our hope to keep the referring physicians in the loop by sending them progress notes, plans, and asking them to order any lab tests that are felt to be necessary. However, clients may also approach us directly.
Our goal is to provide the client with more effective and longer lasting health management strategies.
