This past month, we focused on mental health and women’s health, with 2 insightful blogs published to highlight both of these under prioritized aspects of health. We also have lots of updates and announcements in store, so be sure to continue reading!
Clinic Specific Announcements
Maternity Leave
With much anticipation, we’re excited to announce that Dr. Wright’s family is growing! She will be leaving for maternity leave on July 9th.
Don’t worry – she’ll be leaving you in the hands of our incredible team of providers and will be back soon!
Acute concerns – Urgent care isn’t your only option!
Please be sure to give us a call if you have an acute concern (such as UTI, sore throats, or flu) that doesn’t require a trip to the Emergency Room.
We are an integrative clinic, and our team of doctors work together. Even if your primary physician is unavailable at that time, we’ll work to get you scheduled to be seen as quickly as possible by another insightful provider on our team!
{BLOG 1} How to Improve Your Relationship with Food and Reduce Food Guilt

Women’s Preventative Health Screenings: What Tests You Need and When
Along with mental health, May is also observed as women’s health month! In honor of this, Dr. Sharpe shared the necessary health screenings all women should prioritize for long term health.
General Announcements
From Express Scripts & Costco
Several insurance companies have cut their contracts with Express Scripts Home Delivery and will now be through Costco Home Delivery.
For those insurance companies who have cut contracts with Express Scripts, Express Scripts has sent all prescriptions to Costco, but it has come to our attention they did not communicate that to patients.
For patients impacted by this, please call Costco as soon as possible to confirm your shipping address, phone number, and allergies. Once this is confirmed, Costco will get started on filling prescriptions.
