About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

WECARE: A Retreat For Healthcare Professionals, By Healthcare Professionals (CME)
The Point's team of clinicians (Physicians, Certified Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Nurses and Licensed Mental Health Providers) will come together during one transformational weekend at The Point Retreats.

Establish your health baseline and personalized wellness goals based on bloodwork labs, blood glucose monitoring, health narrative reflections, and health coaching 1-on-1s!

A DATA-DRIVEN APPROACH TO PERSONALIZED AND PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE:

Whether you are looking to focus on physical performance, disease prevention, optimizing health, mental health or beyond: This weekend at The Point welcomes you to guide those aspirations based on medically derived data, with support from medical experts, and within a larger wellness community of health enthusiasts.

Prior to your stay:

You will have the opportunity to collect useful data about your current state of health (e.g., labs and wearable devices),

During your stay:

You will enjoy retreat amenities, modern wellness services, and group learning amongst medical experts.

Before your departure:

Our health coaches and group facilitators will help you in understanding your data points in order to establish a baseline, your data-supported wellness goals, and your personalized wellness plan- all unique to your preferences and larger life aspirations.

ACCESSIBLE INTEGRATIVE HEALTHCARE:

The Point Retreats is breaking down the silos that separate conventional medicine from preventative medicine and holistic health therapies (i.e., bridging Eastern and Western medicine). Without needing to visit several practitioners to integrate results and information; this weekend is meant to provide you with scientifically based modern medical testing (glucose monitors, personalized labs, oxygen and sleep studies, etc.) to allow for you to establish an all-inclusive baseline of your current state of health. From there, our team of modern healthcare professionals will work in both group settings and via individual consults to collaboratively create a personalized plan to optimize and improve your healthspan!

A MODERN WELLNESS PROGRAM BUILT AND PROVIDED BY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS:

Experience exceptional medical care in a retreat-like setting, yet hosted and monitored by physicians, nurses, and mental health specialists.
The program provided was carefully created by experienced professionals with a pulse on modern medicine, functional and lifestyle research and practices as well as individual and community needs.

REIMBURSEMENT:

This event offers 8+ CME credits (AMA MMA Certified) to those seeking healthcare professional continuing education. If interested, please select this option at checkout.

HSA
The Point accepts HSA cards and our program may be submitted to select HSA programs for reimbursement. We are happy and able to provide any documentation needed by your HSA carrier. Please speak with your provider with questions or further information.
