The best source for personal preventive care HOW HEALTHY DO YOU CHOOSE TO BE ?

01/22/2026

A new year often brings big ambitions — new habits, new routines, new expectations. But the most meaningful goals aren’t always the biggest ones. They’re the ones that create balance, clarity, and space in your life.

If you’re setting intentions this month, consider choosing goals that support your wellbeing rather than overwhelm it. Focus on what helps you feel grounded: steadier sleep, manageable routines, intentional movement, or simply creating boundaries that protect your time and energy.

Balance isn’t something you achieve all at once. It’s something you build, one thoughtful choice at a time.

Feeling rushed through appointments or struggling to reach your doctor when you really need them isn’t just frustrating; it affects your health. Traditional primary care often leaves patients feeling like they’re being treated on a conveyor belt instead of as whole people with individual needs.

That’s where concierge medicine changes the experience. It’s a more personalized model of care that gives you time, access, and attention that actually fits your life. With smaller patient panels and a focus on long-term wellness, your doctor can get to know you deeply — your goals, your concerns, and the context behind your health.

More time together means care that’s proactive, thoughtful, and tailored to who you are, not just what’s on your chart. It’s a re-imagined doctor-patient relationship where you’re seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.

Good care is more than diagnosing and treating; it’s building a partnership where patients feel understood, supported, and involved in every step of their health journey.

Dr. Sara Tariq believes that emotional intelligence is essential to that partnership. By paying attention not only to symptoms but also to the emotional experience of illness, she helps patients navigate their care with clarity and confidence.

When you feel seen and heard, decisions become easier, communication becomes stronger, and care becomes something you actively shape — not something that simply happens to you.

01/13/2026

This time of year, when goals and resolutions are everywhere, it’s easy to feel pressure to overhaul your entire routine. That’s why Dr. Mark Sullivan appreciates a perspective Dr. Sara Tariq often shares: lasting change usually starts with the smallest steps.

A bit more movement, a steadier sleep schedule, one or two mindful choices each day. These simple shifts do more for long-term health than any sudden, all-or-nothing approach.

It’s a reminder worth carrying into the new year: meaningful progress is built quietly, through small daily habits that add up over time.

True wellness isn’t measured only in check-ups or lab results. It begins with your mental and emotional well-being.

Dr. Sara Tariq takes a holistic view of preventive care, recognizing that stress, life transitions, and emotional strain shape your health just as much as sleep, nutrition, and exercise. Her approach starts with listening, understanding the experiences behind your symptoms, and caring for the whole person rather than isolated concerns.

When mental health is part of prevention, the path toward physical health becomes clearer, steadier, and more sustainable.

01/06/2026

A new year doesn’t have to mean a long list of resolutions. Sometimes the most meaningful change begins with a shift in mindset.

This January, give yourself permission to slow down, reset, and build habits that support a clearer, calmer mind. Small choices — consistent sleep, mindful breaks, intentional movement, and a little more kindness toward yourself — can shape how the whole year feels.

Start 2026 with a healthier mindset. Your body and mind will thank you for it.

As the year comes to a close, we’re grateful for the trust and kindness of the NVFP community.

The holidays are a time to pause, reconnect, and care for the people who matter most, including yourself. Whether you’re celebrating close to home or traveling to be with loved ones, we wish you a season filled with health, warmth, and moments of real rest.

Happy Holidays from all of us at NVFP.

12/16/2025

The holidays are often described as joyful, but for many people, they’re also busy, emotional, and overwhelming. Between travel, expectations, disrupted routines, and full calendars, stress has a way of sneaking into even the happiest moments.

The good news? Small adjustments can make the season feel lighter. Protect your sleep, take breaks when you need them, keep meals balanced when you can, and give yourself permission to set boundaries without guilt.

A calmer holiday isn’t about doing more; it’s about caring for yourself while you care for everyone else.

12/11/2025

There’s a deep truth in medicine that goes beyond tests and treatments: understanding what life feels like for you.

Dr. Sara Tariq writes about how caring for families and learning their stories becomes one of the most meaningful parts of her work.

In her view, health isn’t just about disease — it’s about life, relationships, and context. When your doctor sees you as a person, not just a condition, care becomes something whole.

Because sometimes the “fun part” isn’t extra — it’s simply being seen.

12/09/2025

In today’s healthcare landscape, many people feel like visits are rushed, fragmented, and impersonal. But what if primary care could feel more like home?

Dr. Mark Sullivan explores a vision where concierge medicine isn’t a luxury add-on, but a true “medical home” built on time, trust, and whole-person connection. He argues that having a physician who knows your story, spends more time listening, and coordinates care across specialists isn’t just nicer; it’s better for preventive health and meaningful relationships.

12/08/2025

Healthcare is most effective when your doctor sees you — not just your labs or your diagnosis. In her recent discussion with Dr. Warrick Bishop, Dr. Tariq explores how bias and emotional intelligence influence the way care is given and received.

She argues that when you’re treated as a partner in your health journey — when your story, your emotions, and your goals are part of the plan — outcomes improve, and trust deepens.

Because care that understands you isn’t just better—it changes how healing feels.

11/27/2025

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the trust, kindness, and connection that define our NVFP community.

Every conversation, every visit, and every small moment of care reminds us why this work matters — because health is built on relationships, and we’re thankful to share that journey with you.

Wishing you and your loved ones a healthy, joyful, and restorative holiday season.
