We know The Avance Way is making a difference in the lives of our patients.
We use a systematic centralized approach to collect all the Grains of Sand. Every immunization, every mammogram, every screening for depression, and so on represents a grain of sand. In our organization, every member of the team works to elevate and reveal every grain of sand – methodically, completely, and with joy for every tiny detail.
This systems approach allows our physicians, advanced practice providers, certified dietitians, clinical pharmacists, chronic care managers, and behavioral therapists to bring their individuality, creativity and passion to the patient encounter. They bring the cement to build the foundation of our patient’s good health.
