About Faith Family Wellness
Our Story
Faith Family Wellness was founded with the notion that we as patients are capable of leading our own health journey. Our providers seek to empower patients with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their health with a proactive approach.
More than anything our mission is to set ourselves apart from the average healthcare practices, while providing holistic care for each individual we serve. We aim to gain a rapport with patients leading them to feel adept in their healthcare decisions and making them feel at home.
“We had the privilege to create something different. My goal was to have a place where patients would feel heard and not feel like a number. We are blessed to be able to take time with our patients and focus on whole wellness for each member of your family. We really love the relationships that form within the practice. We want our patients to feel at home when they come to see us.”
Mary has built a team of like minded professionals to help assist patients to live out the best version of themselves. Her desire is to provide care based on prevention, while keeping her moral values of Faith and Family first.
