Changing Health Outcomes for Underserved Patient Populations Through Evidence-based Lifestyle Interventions that Treat the Root Cause of Chronic Disease
In Partnership with: The Root Cause Coalition
Lifestyle medicine, a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions, is for all people no matter their background or zip code. Underserved communities and individuals living in low-income and rural neighborhoods are at a higher risk for lifestyle-related chronic diseases but social drivers of health (SDoH) place challenging limitations on their ability to access lifestyle medicine interventions. While SDoH factors fundamentally impede on some patients’ ability to access evidence-based lifestyle medicine treatment, the unfortunate assumption is lifestyle medicine is only for the wealthy.
This webinar will dispel the myth that lifestyle medicine is only for affluent groups and underscore solid examples of lifestyle medicine interventions in health care and other innovative settings that are getting to the root cause of chronic disease and changing health outcomes for historically medically underserved groups.
Advancing the Quintuple Aim through Lifestyle Medicine within FQHC/CHCs
We invite you to join us to hear about lifestyle medicine strategies emerging within federally qualified and community health centers. Learn tips on getting buy-in and support from leadership when trying to implement and scale lifestyle medicine clinic-wide, and be inspired by health center partnerships with community-based organizations helping to mitigate social needs that create barriers to lifestyle medicine interventions.
Our expert panel includes: Jessica Jolly, MHA, MPH; Daniel Chen, MD, DipABLM; Ruth Michaelis, MD, DipABLM; and Deborah Garcia, DO, DipABLM.
Lifestyle Medicine: Foundation of Whole Health Revolution
The NASEM Consensus Study report defined whole health care as an interprofessional, team-based approach anchored in trusted longitudinal relationships that promotes resilience, prevents disease, and restores health. Delivering whole-person health within our current healthcare framework, designed for disease management and treatment, is difficult. However, Lifestyle Medicine, which is inherently high-value care, fulfills foundational elements of whole-person care and offers an evidence-based framework anchored in clinical practice guidelines to deliver whole-person health across different payment models.
