COVID-19 Services
With COVID-19 continuously prompting new concerns around the world, Newbridge offers an array of services to support patients in getting as healthy as possible, adopting recommended prevention/immune boosting strategies, and helping with recovery after COVID. We see patients with acute COVID illness, as well as post-COVID Syndrome (aka Long-Haul). Our providers are trained extensively in both traditional and integrative/ holistic/ functional medicine, and utilize approaches based on the latest research and experience to help support patients prevent and recover from COVID illness.
Medical Visits
● Post-COVID Functional Medicine Consultations*: For those who have experienced infection and now want to support their immune system during recovery, including those who have developed “Long-Haul”/Post-COVID Syndrome. Consultations are tailored based on patients’ individual health issues and concerns, and include a comprehensive written plan. Health Coaching is available for additional support for our Long-Haul/Post-COVID patients.
● Acute COVID Tele-Health Visits: Personalized, traditional, and holistic/integrative/functional medicine approaches for patients who are COVID-positive and are in need of immune and organ supportive strategies and treatments. We make every effort to schedule patients on the same day or next day with one of our medical providers.
● Getting Healthy / Pre-COVID Functional Medicine Consultations: For those who are interested in strategies aimed at promoting better underlying health, boosting their immune responses, and strengthening their bodies to fight off possible infection if exposed. Consultations are tailored based on patients’ individual health issues and concerns, and include a comprehensive written plan.
