The CIFC Health Approach
At CIFC Health, you will discover a wholistic approach to medicine that incorporates lifestyle changes, traditional medicine, and modern medicine that is more beneficial for patients than any one approach could be alone. Additionally, the Patient Centered Medical Home approach with the wrap-around behavioral, nutritional, and dental services allow you, as a provider, to really focus on a patient's overall health and wellness, rather than just treating acute problems as they arise.
Our program is also smaller than many of the residency programs at larger institutions and hospitals. This results in better relationships with your peers and the program director. You will find a home at CIFC Health, where you are more than a Doctor, you are a member of the CIFC Family.
