 “DeeAnn got our program going. We had started Group Medical
Appointments several years earlier that did not work and used
DeeAnn to restart our program. We now have a successful program from which we can build upon. DeeAnn is easy to work with and definitely knows her stuff. I recommend her assistance for anyone
who wants to start Group Medical Appointments.”
-- Philip Laughlin, MD, MBA, Medical Director, CHWWoodland Healthcare
 

 “With DeeAnn’s expertise and straightforward approach she instantly received respect from our providers. Without this, as well as her ongoing mentoring we could not have successfully implemented
group medical appointments throughout the Primary Care Sector of
the Portland VA Medical Center.” -- Constance Smith, RN, Portland

"I highly recommend the GMA... Dr. Mark Knoble, Sutter Medical Group, Aurburn, CA.

GMAs can improve health care quality.

Read what a physician who has extensive practice with GMA’s has to say. Dr. Mark Knoble, is a Sutter Medical Group Physician in Aurburn, CA.

"Since beginning my groups in 2001, I have rediscovered the joy and satisfaction in providing healing care for my patients. What I see in group astounds me. Patients that I had been working with for years on an individual basis began to show improvement and stability. The group format helps them address, with the help of the mental health professional and the other group members, psychosocial or relational factors that may have been contributing to their illness or disease.

"The group also allows me the opportunity to re-invent health care in the way that I had a desire to when I first began practicing medicine in 1995. There is joy for me in knowing that what I provide to patients is a modality that treats the whole individual and honors the mind body connection.

"I am energized when I see patients helping each other and using their energy in supporting and assisting someone else. I feel renewed in my commitment to care when I see patients making changes in their lives that positively impact their families, their workplaces, and their communities. "I highly recommend the GMA for any physician who has a desire to provide medical care for their patients in a way that treats the whole individual, for those wanting to learn and grow as people and physicians, for those who may be feeling the malaise of managed care, and for those
wanting to have some fun. The group medical appointment provides all of these things and more."
