“It has been my privilege to accompany thousands of patients on their healing journeys. Because each person is a unique individual, there is clearly no “one-size-fits-all” approach that is appropriate. I have humbly learned the importance of embracing the mystery in healing while utilizing the best of scientific evidence-based medicine. From this vantage point, I developed the Mederi Care model, which is rooted in the American Eclectic herbal tradition, constitutional energetics, and contemporary clinical nutrition. At the same time, I am a disciplined and voracious scientific and medical researcher. This synthesis provides a framework for developing novel therapeutic strategies that incorporate the best of traditional, wholistic, and conventional medicines as supported by modern science. My goal is to provide patients with treatment options that include health-building as well as disease-fighting tools. I want my patients to thrive, not merely survive. Mederi Care is truly integrative in its wholism. My hope is that the fruition of Mederi Care will be the future of modern medicine, removing ego and fear in favor of compassion, humility, wisdom, and love.” Donnie Yance, CN, RH (AHG)
