Targeted Health Interventions
For individuals who have particular risk factors, concerns, or are known to have particular medical or physiological conditions the Enhanced Nutrition and Wellness Center will offer a targeted approach to preventing disease and improving morbidity by means of a specific but comprehensive diet and lifestyle package.
For each of the targeted conditions which include, overweight or obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, osteoarthritis and chronic back pain, cancer prevention, hypoglycemic syndromes, dyslipidemia, osteoporosis and bone health, and smoking cessation, physicians and other members of the team will conduct state-of-the-art assessments of disease risk and status. For design of individual disease prevention programs, clients will be requested to provide medical records to facilitate assessment, or, if needed, to undergo a comprehensive assessment (as would be done for the Wellness assessment, with modifications as clinically appropriate). Following the medical assessment, a detailed comprehensive approach will be developed. Follow-up will be dictated by the condition and nature of the interventions.
