You are more than your disease.
Understanding you is the first step to getting you on the road to health. Connected Rheumatology will help you:
Discover
At Connected Rheumatology we take an in-depth look at your symptoms, your medical history and your lifestyle. As a result, we are able to discover the true cause for your symptoms. We can then provide an integrative, individualized treatment plan that allows you to successfully live with, or leave behind, your autoimmune condition.
Thrive
We believe learning how to thrive in the face of a difficult diagnosis is done by balancing the health of the body, mind and spirit. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Therefore, Connected Rheumatology was built to allow for the time and attention necessary to get to the root of your problem.
Empower
Partnership with your healthcare provider is the path to optimal health and this is especially true in rheumatology. Through one-on-one consultations, direct patient care and our online education, we empower patients to become active participants in their own care.
