The Ford Philosophy
Whole Person Care begins with Mental Health
“Without mental health there is no health.”
Philosophy + Passion
Research has shown that the mind and body are connected. When a person feels sad and blue, it can impact their energy level, motivation to participate in treatment, and negatively impact outcomes, such as improving independent functioning. To achieve desired outcomes, it is essential to support the patient’s emotional health as well as their physical health. Dr. Ford is devoted to his patients and committed to delivering integrated care.
The Facts
On and off the court – stress occurs. In and off-season – life happens. Nurturing physical, mental, and emotional (good) health requires a delicate balance between varying situations and ever-evolving circumstances. Like that trey in basketball: focus, finesse and fortitude come into play, every day, no matter what. That is a promise.
Dr. Ford partners with you to implement a game plan, a strategy that fosters being real – authentic and true to one’s self. Dr. Ford believes in whole-person care and that seeking the advice of professionals when it comes to one’s health is key in producing well-being. Dr. Ford is changing the way the world experiences healthcare and delivering successful outcomes. Integrated care: It’s a slam dunk!
