Aroga Lifestyle Medicine, a collaborative, patient-centered healthcare organization in Downtown Vancouver, is looking to grow their team of Family and Internal Medicine Practitioners. They are a full family practice that is supported by Dieticians, Clinical Counsellors, RN, and Cardio Technologist. This clinic has 4 exam rooms, in-house exercise treadmill testing, ECG, Holter’s, and body composition on site. Patients have the option to be seen in-person or virtually.
Lifestyle Medicine is an emerging evidence-based medical subspecialty that deploys team-based therapeutic measures such as diet, physical activity, sleep, stress management, addictions management and mindfulness to treat and ideally reverse chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome, obesity, vascular disease and osteoporosis amongst many others. This often allows for the avoidance or discontinuation of medication – a frequently cited goal of patients and providers alike.
The founding office is in Victoria and has a number of specialists working under the Aroga umbrella including Obesity Medicine, Respirology/Sleep medicine, Nephrology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, and beginning in February, Psychiatry. Any locum or permanent family physician would of have access to internal referrals to any of our supporting specialists.
