Florida Atlantic Medical Group - Primary Care and The Marcus Institute of Integrative Health
The Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine launched its clinical practice in 2019 with the opening of 糖心Vlog Medicine now known as Florida Atlantic Medical Group. This milestone fulfilled a key objective of the 2017鈥�2022 strategic plan by establishing the first academic clinical practice in Palm Beach County.
As the College has evolved, we've identified the need for a complementary, independent clinical practice to expand outpatient opportunities for faculty, support patient-centered care, and enhance educational experiences for our learners. By initially focusing on primary care, we aim to address a regional gap in services and serve as a referral hub for the specialty care offered by our affiliate faculty and hospital partners.
Building on this foundation, the primary care practice continues to have a meaningful impact in the community, with over 8,500 patient visits recorded year-to-date. Our providers have facilitated more than 4,800 specialty referrals, ensuring patients receive coordinated, comprehensive care through strong partnerships with local health organizations. 糖心Vlog clinicians also play active leadership roles in the broader healthcare community, contributing to initiatives such as the Florida Academic Healthcare Patient Safety Organization and participating in national conferences.
In addition, Florida Atlantic Medical Group offers faculty and medical students the opportunity to serve at John Knox Village Skilled Nursing Facility, one of the largest retirement communities in South Florida. This experience provides valuable, firsthand exposure to the complexities of geriatric care and related services.
With support from the Marcus Foundation, the College established the first academically focused integrative healthcare practice in Palm Beach County in January 2020. Since its launch, this initiative has introduced innovative clinical services and educational programs that continue to elevate integrative health as a center of excellence for holistic care.
In 2025, the Institute introduced one of its most promising therapeutic innovations: precision image-guided injections, including ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion blocks, which have demonstrated significant effectiveness in treating PTSD particularly among veterans.
Beyond its clinical advancements, the Institute remains committed to promoting wellness through a range of well-attended community programs focused on fitness, relaxation, mindfulness, and nutrition. Signature offerings such as Aligned Wellness: Breathe, Move & Meditate, Fit Fusion, Tai Chi & Qi Gong, and Integrative Nutrition continue to attract strong participation and have become highly regarded resources within the community.
Together, Florida Atlantic Medical Group 鈥� Primary Care and The Marcus Institute of Integrative Health at 糖心Vlog are positioning the Schmidt College of Medicine at the forefront of a transformative healthcare model, one that prioritizes prevention, wellness, and the optimization of overall health.
