An Integrated Healthcare Facility
The Preventive Medical Center of Marin, established in 1984, provides an advanced and unique blend of modern healthcare. It is a learning center for patients and providers to best create wellness for yourself and your family. Our integrated approach brings together Individualized Medical Care, Healing Therapies, and Patient Education. The GOAL of Preventive Medical Center is to educate you as well as to support you in making healthy changes through wiser choices. We strive to empower our patients by teaching them to listen to their bodies and take more responsibility for their own health. Be well!

Evaluations may include: assessments of lifestyle and biochemistry, as well as testing for digestive function, hormonal balance, and/or nutritional status. These may focus more specifically on mineral testing for both essential and toxic elements, saliva hormone analysis, or stool testing for both healthy and problem-causing microorganisms. This testing and treatment approach allows us, along with you, to use natural therapies to improve body function and lessen the need for drug therapy.
