What to Expect

Your journey with us begins with a comprehensive intake appointment where we assess not just your health status, but also your social determinants of health, resources, and potential barriers to success. We create realistic, achievable goals that fit your lifestyle and circumstances.

Throughout your program, we provide regular support through individual appointments, group sessions, and community resources. We work closely with you to identify and overcome obstacles as they arise, adjusting your plan as needed. Our approach emphasizes building skills and confidence for long-term success rather than just short-term weight loss.

Why Choose A Community Wellness Clinic

What makes us different is our genuine commitment to community wellness and health equity. We understand that one size doesn't fit all, and we take time to understand your unique circumstances, cultural background, and personal challenges. Our sliding-scale fee structure ensures that cost isn't a barrier to receiving care.

We're deeply embedded in the Spokane community and understand the local challenges our residents face. Our team includes community health workers and peer counselors who share similar experiences with our patients. This creates an environment of understanding and support that's often missing from traditional medical settings.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans and work hard to maximize your covered benefits. For those without insurance or with limited coverage, we offer sliding-scale pricing based on income and family size. Our community partnerships also provide access to additional funding and resources. Initial consultations range from $25-100 based on your ability to pay, with ongoing services priced affordably. We believe financial constraints shouldn't prevent anyone from accessing quality weight loss support and work with each patient to find sustainable payment solutions.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come to your first appointment ready to share openly about your challenges, goals, and what you need to be successful. We want to understand not just your medical history, but your life circumstances, support system, and any barriers you've encountered in the past.

Throughout your program, take advantage of all our services including support groups and community resources. Don't hesitate to reach out when you're struggling - that's when you need us most. Remember that setbacks are normal parts of the journey, and we're here to help you get back on track without judgment.
