Caring for the Whole You

At Flagship Health, health isn't confined to a doctor's office. It is built through the foods we eat, the communities we engage with, how we manage stress, and the daily choices we make.

That's why we take a comprehensive, holistic approach to healthcare — one that supports a member’s entire lifestyle. Our model is designed to care for the whole person, not just their symptoms. We focus on physical, emotional, and social health, recognizing that these elements are deeply connected. This approach is especially important for the people we serve – seniors and senior veterans. At Flagship, we work to not only treat illness but also to prevent it — helping our patients live with vitality, dignity, and connection.

What Holistic Healthcare Means at Flagship

Holistic healthcare is rooted in a powerful idea: a person's health cannot be siloed into isolated conditions or treated as disconnected parts. This perspective is supported by the CDC, which highlights that lifestyle behaviors—such as diet, physical activity, and tobacco use—are leading contributors to chronic disease and overall health.

That’s why Flagship Health offers a care model that reflects this interconnected view of health—addressing not only clinical needs, but also the daily behaviors, emotional well-being, and social factors that shape a person’s overall wellness.

At Flagship Health, we focus on:

• Physical health: Comprehensive primary care for seniors and veterans, preventive screenings, chronic care management, and in-clinic procedures.
• Mental and emotional wellness: Integrated behavioral health services.
• Lifestyle habits: Personalized support for nutrition, sleep hygiene, movement, and stress management.
• Community connection: Weekly community events focused on health education, as well as fun social activities designed to combat isolation and engender connection.
• Care navigation: Hands-on assistance with Medicare, insurance benefits, VA coordination, and transportation.

By addressing the whole person, not just symptoms, we empower our patients to thrive.

Senior and Senior Veteran-Focused

Seniors and veterans deserve healthcare that is built around their unique life experiences, values, and needs. At Flagship Health, we are committed to delivering care that is strong, resilient, and deeply personal.

We provide this experience through:

• Longer appointments: Providers take the time to truly hear patients, allowing space for meaningful conversations about health goals and concerns.
• Veteran-specific services: We provide VA coordination, disability rating examinations, and seamless medical records integration.
• Comprehensive primary care: Our physicians thoughtfully tailor the medical care plans to the evolving needs of our seniors and veterans.

Our entire staff understands the experiences that shape a person’s health journey, including one’s previous military service. These insights inform every aspect of our care.

The Power of Personalized Primary Care

Each Flagship Health patient has a dedicated care team that includes physicians, nurse practitioners, and clinical support staff. We also partner with behavioral health specialists. Our approach is grounded in:

• Continuity: Fostering long-term, trusted relationships between patients and their care teams.
• Proactivity: Emphasizing prevention – not just intervention – to maintain health and vitality.
• Personalization: Tailoring care plans to reflect each patient’s unique health needs and life goals.

We also help patients navigate Medicare options and ensure they receive the full benefits they've earned through their service to our country.

Lifestyle as Medicine

The most powerful medicine isn't found in a bottle. Rather, it's in our daily habits. Research from Harvard University shows that healthy lifestyle choices can add up to a decade of additional life expectancy.

At Flagship, we empower patients to harness this potential through:

• Nutrition counseling: Encouraging anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense diets.
• Movement programs: Tailored exercise plans suited to individual abilities and goals.
• Sleep support: Helping patients build better sleep hygiene by optimizing their circadian rhythms.
• Stress management techniques: Mindfulness practices, relaxation strategies, and emotional resilience coaching.

By treating lifestyle factors as central to health, we help prevent and manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline.

Combating Loneliness Through Community

Social isolation among older adults is a serious health risk. According to a Surgeon General Advisory, isolation can increase one’s risk of dementia by 50% and heart disease by 29%.

When people feel connected, they engage more fully in their health — and life.  That’s one of the reasons why at Flagship Health, we are so passionate about combating social isolation. Here’s a few specific ways in which we promote belonging and community building:

• Weekly Community Events: Healthy meals, games, health education talks, exercise classes, and dance parties.
• Partnerships with Veteran Groups: Connecting patients to peer support and additional resources.
• Transportation Assistance: Helping every patient attend events and appointments without barriers.

Veteran-Centered Services: Expertise You Can Trust

As a veteran-founded organization, Flagship Health offers specialized veteran healthcare services for senior veteran patients, including:

• VA Coordination: Support with accessing and navigating VA benefits and services.
• Disability Rating Assistance: Helping veterans through disability claims processes.
• Mental Health Support for PTSD and Service-Related Conditions: Coordinated through trusted behavioral health partners, ensuring that senior veteran patients receive compassionate, specialized care.

Our team — many of whom are veterans themselves — understands the pride, strength, and challenges that come with military service. We honor our patients not just in words, but through actionable care.

Smart Technology, Human Connection

At Flagship Health, we thoughtfully blend modern innovation with the personal touch our seniors value most. While our care is deeply personal, it’s also supported by technology that enhances accessibility, coordination, and transparency—never at the expense of human connection.

We offer:

• Secure Electronic Medical Records: Enabling real-time access to patient histories and seamless coordination with specialists and referral partners.
• Patient Portal: Empowering patients to manage appointments, view records, and take an active role in their care.
• Telehealth Services: Convenient virtual visits offered when preferred or appropriate.
• In-Person Visits: Because for many seniors, nothing replaces the comfort and clarity of face-to-face care.

As healthcare continues to evolve, we remain committed to using innovation not to replace—but to elevate—the warmth and wisdom of traditional, relationship-centered care.

Redefining Aging with Energy and Optimism

At Flagship Health, we see aging not as decline, but as an opportunity for continued growth, connection, and vitality.

Our clinics are designed to be spaces where:

• Patients rediscover resilience and joy.
• Seniors and veterans feel seen, heard, and celebrated.
• Health is understood as a dynamic journey, not a static condition.

Our purpose is simple: to help people age on their own terms – with dignity, strength, and joy.

A New Standard in Senior and Veteran Healthcare

Holistic care isn't a trend — it's a return to what healthcare was always meant to be: personal, comprehensive, and compassionate.

At Flagship Health, we proudly set a new standard in senior and veteran healthcare—where patients don't just receive care; they build meaningful relationships, reclaim their vitality, and live life to its fullest.
