Our purpose

Medical care has become frustrating: it takes too long to get appointments, insurance red tape is overwhelming, and providers don’t always listen. This is challenging for providers and patients. After spending close to 20 years in systems that exhaust providers and wear down patients, our sole provider started Human Touch Health as an antidote to modern health care that is overwhelmingly impersonal and complicated.

Our goals are:

• To treat every patient with kindness, dignity, and respect.

• To help you navigate the complex and often unfair world of modern health care.

• Listen to your needs and offer assistance where we can. Your health is not a burden. Your health journey is our job.

• Empower patients to make behavior and habit changes they would like to see in their lives. Healthy living is hard, we are here to guide and advise you without judgment.

After a few months of being in business, we have honed our focus to better fit our patient base and community. With more knowledge of how to help our patients and what is most needed, our clinic has begun to focus on the following:

• Diagnosis and Management of chronic diseases. Chronic conditions can be complex and change regularly. Our goal is to be your partner in managing these conditions. Ongoing support and problem-solving are strategies we aim to prioritize.

• Depression, anxiety, sleep troubles, and other aspects of mental health. Internists are qualified to manage these conditions, and we take particular care in managing them. Every patient is different, and you deserve personalized care to help navigate this.

• Geriatric care and healthy aging. We want to help you age in a way that feels good for you. We start a conversation about your health and revisit this conversation regularly inside and outside the office to support your goals.

• Patient resourcing. Currently, about 60% of our patient base is Medicaid, Medicare, and self-pay. With this, we work individually with patients to close care gaps, and advocate on behalf of patient needs. We will work to get our patients' appointments and medications needed for their care, even when this is difficult. We are working to reduce visit costs for self-pay, with the eventual goal of creating a fair sliding scale with some free care.
