How do I schedule a visit for “BURNOUT?” 😭
Or for “my kids are driving me CRAZY”? 🤪
Or “life is so stressful, I keep getting SICK”? 🤧
These aren’t dramatic complaints. They’re very real experiences — that have very real effects on your health.
Chronic stress shows up in:
hormones
sleep
immune function
gut health
mood
blood sugar
inflammation
& exhaustion.
Your body keeps the score, even when life tells you to “just push through.”
So instead of trying to fit these conversations into a rushed 20-30-minute visit for $100 — I’m proposing a different solution. Less cost. More time. Proven results. Excited to announce a new service ….
🤍 You’re Invited to The Table 🪑
The Table: Community Primary Care
A faith-rooted, group-based primary care experience with Dr. Hoff — centered on connection, shared wisdom & whole-person healing.
I’m inviting 8 individuals to gather for 2 unhurried hours at the table with tea & light treats.
“They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.”
Acts 2:46
Each Table session will be thoughtfully designed around a shared health concern, allowing for deeper discussion, meaningful education, & genuine connection.
1️⃣ This first Table will be for women experiencing burnout — the kind that slowly seeps into the soul & effects overall health. If you feel worn down, stretched thin, or like your body is trying to get your attention, this space was created with you in mind.
📖 Details:
• 2 hours together in a guided, group setting
• Tea & treats provided ☕🍪
• Make new like-minded friends
• Discounted well-visit: $25 per person
• Vitals completed privately
• Leave with support & a gameplan
• HIPAA-compliant consent form required
• Space is intentionally limited to 8 participants to preserve privacy & meaningful discussion
• Date & time to be determined
This is not rushed medicine. It is care delivered with intention, presence, & wisdom — the way healthcare was always meant to be experienced.
It’s like a play date for moms with shared anxieties 😂 — but with real medical & friendship support that actually lasts.
Galatians 6:2, says “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
Individual follow-up visits, labs, or additional care may be recommended as needed.
If you feel called to pull up a chair & be part of — The Table — message me or comment below for next steps.
Kindly,
Dr. Hoff
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:20

FAQ & The Research :
🧐 What is Group Care?
Group care is a way to receive your primary care where you meet with your healthcare provider along with other patients who have similar health needs. Instead of a traditional one-on-one appointment, you'll be part of a small group that meets together for medical care, health education, and peer support.[1][2]
⭕️ How Group Care Works
In group care, you'll attend appointments with 8-15 other patients who may share similar health conditions or health goals. These sessions typically last 90-120 minutes, which is much longer than a typical office visit. During this time, you'll receive:[2]
- Medical care from your healthcare provider
- Health education about managing your condition
- Time to ask questions and discuss concerns
- Support and advice from other patients facing similar challenges
- Opportunities for one-on-one consultation with your provider when needed
❤️ Benefits of Group Care
Research shows that group care can improve your health in several important ways:[1][3]
- Better health outcomes: Studies show improved control of conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure
- More knowledge: You'll learn from both your healthcare team and from other patients' experiences
- Stronger support: You'll build relationships with others who understand what you're going through
- Greater satisfaction: Most patients report being more satisfied with group care than traditional visits
- Better access to care: Longer appointment times mean more of your needs can be addressed in one visit
- Group care has been shown to reduce emergency room visits and hospital admissions while improving preventive care.[4] Patients in group care often develop better self-management skills and feel more confident managing their health.[5][2]
📄 Your Privacy Matters
While group discussions are encouraged, you always have the option for private time with your provider when needed. What is shared in the group stays confidential among group members.[2]
