What is
Whole Person
Progress?
When providers offer therapy and supportive care services, a common complaint is that the treatment only focuses on a narrow set of objectives that do not consider the holistic needs of the person and their family. At AZA United, we utilize a care model that we call Whole Person Progress. When we develop treatment plans, collect data, and measure outcomes, we are focused on exactly that – the whole person. Because ultimately, that’s all that matters.
Community Impact Data
