My Experience with Atrius Health: How They Helped Improve My Health
Introduction
Health is wealth! How often have we heard this mantra, but how many of us really take it seriously? The truth is, most of us ignore our health until a health issue arises. I was one of them, until I came across Atrius Health. In this article, I will share my experience with Atrius Health and how they helped improve my health.
Who is Atrius Health?
Atrius Health is a non-profit healthcare organization based in Newton, Massachusetts, with over 750 physicians and healthcare providers serving over 700,000 patients annually. Atrius Health offers primary and specialty care, behavioral health services and home health and hospice care, all integrated into one healthcare system.
My Experience with Atrius Health
I first visited Atrius Health when I was experiencing unexplained fatigue, which had been ongoing for several weeks. I made an appointment with my primary care physician, who had recommended a few tests to determine the root cause of my fatigue.
Atrius Health took a holistic approach to finding the root cause of my fatigue. They ran various blood tests and conducted a thorough physical exam. Soon enough, they discovered I was suffering from a vitamin deficiency, which was easily treatable with vitamin supplements.
What impressed me most was that Atrius Health not only focused on the physical symptoms but also on the psychological aspect of my health, which, in turn, helped me to better understand and manage my stress.
Integrated Healthcare System
Atrius Health’s integrated healthcare system, where specialty care, primary care, behavioral health services, and home health care are integrated, is what sets it apart. I no longer have to deal with coordinating appointments with different health care providers for different health issues. At Atrius Health, everything was under one roof, from my annual physicals, vaccinations, to my surgery follow up visits. The doctors and healthcare providers worked together to provide me with the best comprehensive care.
Conclusion
Atrius Health is much more than a healthcare organization. Their approach to healthcare is comprehensive and patient-focused. The staff and healthcare providers are extremely compassionate. They showed interest in my overall health, listened to my health worries, and helped to develop a personalized treatment plan to fit my unique healthcare needs. I would highly recommend Atrius Health to anyone looking for a healthcare organization that puts the needs of their patients first.
