What Does Customer Service Have To Do With Health Care?

How Pediatricians and Start My Wellness Can Work Together to Help Children and Families
Watching children struggle with mental health can be heartbreaking, so we are always looking to collaborate with other practices to bring comprehensive care to the whole person–body and mind.

How to Make the Most of New Year Resolutions and Intentions
Reflecting on her successes over the past year – and even the things she maintained without improving – helped her feel more competent and ready for the next challenge. She needed to continue choosing her own healing, even when it was hard or it didn’t seem like she was going anywhere. That perseverance is a strength in itself. Author: Lindsay Hall, MSW
Benefits of Reflection & Gratitude
Ultimately, the end of the year can be full of excitement and nerves in anticipation for the new year to come. It’s a great chance to envision what you want this next chapter of your life to look like. Once you feel you have reflected enough, feel free to close the door of 2021 and open the new door to 2022 and begin working towards your new goals.
