In our March episode, Dr. Katie Sharp discusses the advantages that both lifestyle medicine and group visits hold for patients with chronic disease. Lifestyle medicine incorporates nutrition, physical activity, and behavior change to improve patient outcomes. Group visits foster social connections and support among patients, enhancing their engagement and motivation. Dr. Sharp shares insights on how primary care providers can implement both in their practices. The conversation highlights the rewarding nature of these approaches for both patients and providers, ultimately aiming for better health outcomes and satisfaction.
Curbside Consult is a podcast from the MaineHealth ACO that brings together specialists and primary care physicians to discuss clinical topics, referral management and coordination of care. Each month, family physician hosts Dr. Mike Clark and Dr. Heather Ward welcome a new specialist to share their unique insights.
