How Personalized Primary Care Extends Your Healthspan

Humans are living longer than ever before, but extending your lifespan is just one facet of your health journey. Joyn Health enhances the quality of those extra years by working to extend your healthspan as well.

Lifespan is the number of years you live from birth to death, but healthspan is the number of years that you live in good health. At Joyn Health, we believe that time is your greatest healthcare currency. Find out how personalized primary care helps you use it to the fullest.

Personalized primary care explained

Millions of patients continue to endure transactional care that is brief and impersonal. You make an appointment days or weeks away for whatever’s ailing you, and then the waiting game begins. It’s not uncommon to spend more time in the waiting room (or waiting for your doctor in the exam room) than one-on-one time with your physician. And that’s it, you’re done.

The personalized primary care provided by Joyn Health takes a far more comprehensive approach, tailoring every interaction to your individual health needs. By knowing and understanding you as a person and thoughtfully considering every aspect of your health – a concept we call whole-person care  – Joyn can deliver personalized solutions that help to prevent chronic conditions, optimize wellness, and improve your overall quality of life.

Let’s take a closer look at how this patient-centric approach creates a deeper connection with your healthcare provider, resulting in better outcomes and a longer healthspan.

Proactive vs. reactive care

In many areas of life – career, finances, relationships – being proactive drives success. Your health is no different.

Reactive care treats health issues only after they have already developed and symptoms begin to appear. Proactive care anticipates risks before they escalate, ensuring you stay ahead of illness and in control of your health. What type of care would you rather have?

By prioritizing proactive, whole-person care for all patients, Joyn Health helps them live longer years in good health.

Comprehensive evaluations and care anywhere, anytime

 Access to care and thorough health assessments are essential to identifying the underlying causes of future health problems. Need additional treatment? Joyn members also benefit from expedited referral access to our global network of specialists.

Whether your goal is to assess a potential health problem or maintain your overall health, Joyn physicians take the time to address any issues from every possible angle. From leading-edge diagnostic testing to advanced screenings to genomics, we go far beyond the scope of a typical primary care practice.

Lifestyle and wellness optimization 

And we don’t stop there. Joyn members also receive personalized recommendations for nutrition, exercise, stress management, and other lifestyle factors that can significantly impact your healthspan.

Rushed appointments allow little time to talk about wellness – and if the physician barely knows you or your health situation, they might skip the topic altogether. At Joyn Health, your physician creates a personalized wellness roadmap tailored to your lifestyle, unique preferences, and health goals – ensuring accountability and guiding you toward optimal health.

Physician-patient relationships

Meaningful physician-patient relationships are the foundation of personalized primary care. With a limit of just 250 patients, Joyn physicians offer a level of time and attention that’s impossible in a traditional practice juggling 2,500+ patients.

 This model was created by design so patients receive abundant personal attention and extended time with their physicians. More time with your physician isn’t just convenient – it’s life-changing. Studies show that more time with a physician can lead to a longer healthspan. Developing a closer bond with your Joyn physician also benefits your health by building trust and improving communication between you.
