why preventive medicine?

The philosophy that led to the creation of wellnessMD@acac is based on the belief that many illnesses, particularly heart-related ones, can be prevented or managed more successfully with exercise and improved nutrition.

Studies continue to confirm that the combination of physical activity and healthy eating produce significant benefits over diet or exercise alone.

WellnessMD@acac focuses on prevention because many lifestyle related diseases are preventable and many are reversible. Too often we are playing "catch up" when disease has already begun to affect our daily lives. WellnessMD@acac utilizes the full potential of modern screening and diagnostic tools to attempt to uncover any potential diseases before they become real issues, thus putting the patient in a stronger position to manage his or her life.
