Help Safahla Medical Thrive in the Finger Lakes!
bringing bespoke holistic care, nutrition and wellness to the FLX
Project Description
Our mission: Safahla Medical is on a mission to revolutionize wellness in the Finger Lakes region of New York. We offer a holistic approach that prioritizes not just treating illness, but preventing it through education and personalized care.
The problem we solve: Many women struggle to find a healthcare provider that addresses their unique needs. Traditional medicine often focuses on symptom management rather than the root cause. Additionally, communities in the Finger Lakes, particularly rural areas, lack access to comprehensive wellness programs and nutrition education.
The market opportunity: The wellness industry in the US alone is a $4.2 trillion giant! Women are driving this growth, actively seeking preventative and holistic healthcare options. In the Finger Lakes, a region with a growing population and increasing demand for alternative healthcare, Safahla Medical is poised to fill a crucial gap.
Safahla Medical: Your Solution: We bridge the gap by providing a unique blend of services:
- Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine: the foundation for optimal wellness. Integrating this philosophy into every aspect of patient care is essential to our practice. We create a holistic plan for each and every patient, in order to achieve their goals
- Personalized Nutrition Counseling: Our registered dietitian create customized plans focusing on whole, anti-inflammatory foods, promoting long-term health.
- Massage Therapy: We offer various massage techniques to help manage pain, improve mobility, and reduce stress.
- Education and empowerment: We believe knowledge is power. We offer workshops and educational resources to help women understand their bodies and make informed health choices.
Why We Need Your Support: We're seeking funding to expand our services and reach more women in the Finger Lakes.
Why we need funding: With your support, we can:
- Expand our team: We plan to hire additional healthcare providers and educators to serve more women in the Finger Lakes.
- Invest in technology: Funding will allow us to implement a patient portal for online scheduling, communication, and educational resources.
- Launch community outreach programs: We aim to offer free or low-cost wellness workshops and screenings in underserved areas.
Our team: Safahla Medical is led by a passionate team of women, including Dr. Rashida S. Vassell, a board-certified physician with a focus on integrative medicine, Heather Abdalla, a nurse practitioner, who believes is lifestyle medicine is the foundation for optimal wellness, and Lindsay Sawyer-Pratt, a registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in anti-inflammatory and whole foods diet. We are dedicated to providing exceptional care and empowering women to take charge of their well-being.
Thank you! Every contribution brings us closer to making a real difference in women's health in the Finger Lakes. Together, we can create a thriving community of empowered women who prioritize health and wellness for themselves and their families.
Please consider investing in Safahla Medical and become part of our journey!
