Concierge Medicine Membership @ NCIM
“Providing optimal, personalized healthcare”
Everyone understands that good health is paramount to success. In today’s fast-paced environment, one’s own health can sometimes slip down the list of priorities. With Concierge Medicine from the National Center for Integrative Medicine® in Joliet, IL., your health is once again established as Priority No. 1.
High-powered business executives as well as the average person appreciate the fact that they can have a special, direct relationship with a primary physician who is available at any time via phone or text, cognizant of underlying issues that pertain to the patient, and looking out for the needs of the individual. This relationship, called Concierge or Retainer Medicine, contains some of the characteristics of the old-fashioned family doctor.
Your physician understands you, your lifestyle, your history, your particular set of strengths and challenges. It’s a one-on-one, personalized relationship with a primary care provider who knows your history, lifestyle demands, and health risks; and can look to the future by anticipating possible health issues.
The patient has access to the physician 24/7 for medical testing, consultation, or healthcare advice. The physician has access to all of the patient’s records, as well as the latest medical science, technology and therapy.
Individual, not institutional . . . .
While supermarket-style medical care may be an efficient way to care for a great many people, there is no substitute for a doctor who knows your particular situation and condition.

- An Annual Health Exam

During our initial evaluation, your physician will determine whether there are any gaps in your history. If a standard screening or test has somehow been overlooked, the physician will bring it to your attention. Your medical advisor will also work with any other practitioners to make them aware of the particular details of your health.
Proactive, not reactive . . . .
Most medical systems operate on a reactive basis. They discern and treat symptoms, signs and conditions after they’ve appeared.
Your Concierge medical advisor is trained to be positioned at the forefront of the curve, to advise you on challenges and risks before they present themselves.
Having a medical advisor on retainer also helps gain access and admittance to any specialists you may need, in any part of the world where you happen to be.
With Concierge Medicine @ NCIM, you can finally remove this important task, your health, from your inbox, and transfer it to ours. Call 815-330-3140 and ask about Concierge Medicine. You’ll appreciate having our expertise on your team.
At NCIM, your well-being is our highest mission.
