theconnectionsnj.com HEALTH & WELLNESS PAGE 19 WHEN WE REPLACE THE “I” WITH “WE”—ILLNESS BECOMES WELLNESS! For more than ten years, MorningStar Family Health Center in Clinton, New Jer- sey, has had a mission to work WITH their patients to discover the root causes of their symptoms. It is truly a team effort. With an eye on wellness, they strive to address the actual problem to reduce or eliminate symptoms of disease. This is a much more difficult endeavor than just prescribing medication. It takes time, and dedication to learning about each person to uncover the source of the problems. Jean Golden-Tevald, DO, CFCMC, FCP, IFMCP founded MorningStar with the belief, “You are a whole person—not a collection of body parts! We are com- mitted to caring for you in an integrated way.” Edward J Fleming, MD, CFCMC shared that philosophy when he came on board and together with their staff maintain the core belief in dignity and respect for every person throughout ev- ery stage of life. These NJ Top Docs offer a member- ship-based, primary care practice which allows the doctors to take time with their members and not be restricted by insur- ance limitations. In-person care is provided in the main office in Clinton and soon to be satellite office in Chambersburg, Penn- sylvania. Telemedicine is nothing new to these doctors who have offered phone and video conferencing for years. Continuing their education after becom- ing licensed doctors, both sought the en- lightened approach of Functional Medicine and use this perspective when evaluating all members within three main facets of care. • Dr Golden-Tevald and Dr Fleming are passionate about their care for wom- en’s health issues including infertility. They use a specialized, natural tech- nique called NaPro TECHNOLOGY to evaluate and discern the woman’s un- derlying conditions. NaPro is also use- ful in the treatment of PMS, recurrent miscarriage, and many other women’s health concerns. • Primary care is offered to members ages eight and above. This includes emergency care around the clock and routine health maintenance such as physicals and wellness checks. • The third facet of this health-focused group is lifestyle education where the member is immersed in life skills that will keep them healthy, vibrant, and well throughout their lives. A combination of education, coaching, supplementation, specialized lab tests, and detoxification truly make this worthwhile undertaking a team effort! MorningStar is not an average Family Medicine practice, as their goal is to em- power their members to NOT be depen- dent of doctors and the healthcare system. They are able to achieve this goal through education, time, and genuine compassion. These NJ Top Docs offer a membership-based, primary care practice which allows the doctors to take time with their members and not be restricted by insurance limitations.
