What is Good River Wellness?
Good River Wellness is a Health Assurance organization dedicated to fostering the vitality and overall well-being of our members, empowering them to nourish themselves and, in turn, positively impact those around them. As a health assurance network, we do not diagnose or treat diseases. Instead, we collaborate with your primary care physician and specialists to ensure that you receive appropriate referrals for managing any health conditions. Our primary focus is on your wellness, and we provide a comprehensive report detailing your current wellness status and highlighting areas for improvement.
Armed with this insight, you and your Naturopathic Wellness Coach will co-create a personalized wellness plan, selecting from a wide range of services within our network. As a member, you’ll earn tokens that can be redeemed for discounts on wellness services, events, and offerings from Good River Wellness partners.
After attending wellness events, you'll also earn points toward your overall wellness score. Every quarter, you'll have the opportunity to review and adjust your wellness plan to ensure it aligns with your evolving needs.
Getting Started with Good River Wellness
We begin with a holistic and thorough evaluation of your wellness. This process starts with an initial online wellness screening, followed by our detailed online wellness inventory. You’ll then undergo a 72-step physical exam with a Naturopathic Physician and complete a series of advanced wellness tests to give you a comprehensive picture of your health.
Your wellness inventory will provide you with a six-point wellness score, offering a detailed assessment of your well-being from five key perspectives. Based on this, you'll gain access to our carefully vetted network of wellness professionals, each dedicated to supporting your journey toward optimal well-being, focusing on one or more dimensions of your health.
The Good River Wellness network offers an extensive array of services from a diverse and eclectic team of wellness professionals, all committed to supporting your wellness goals.
Health Assurance, Not Health Insurance
Good River Wellness: A Path to Vibrant Living
At Good River Wellness, we are a Health Assurance organization focused on promoting and sustaining the overall wellness of our members through preventative care and vitality-enhancing services. We believe in the body’s innate ability to maintain health when properly supported. Our members benefit from a broad range of services that encourage healthy lifestyle choices, spanning nutrition, movement, mindfulness, spirituality, connection with nature, and active community involvement.
Each member begins their journey with a comprehensive wellness evaluation, followed by seasonal reviews with their Naturopathic Wellness Educator. This in-depth assessment provides members with a clear understanding of their health and well-being, empowering them to make informed decisions as they engage in wellness offerings from our trusted partners. In collaboration with their Naturopath, members will co-create a personalized wellness plan that evolves with the seasons, fostering long-term vitality and balance.
The Good River Wellness Plan also provides members with tokens that can be redeemed for various services, events, products, and resources tailored to their personal wellness journey. Additionally, if your employer partners with Good River, you may be eligible for a base wellness plan, which can be customized to further align with your individual wellness goals.
The Naturopathic Way
Good River uses the time tested methods of traditional Naturopathic medicine applying a principled approach to the care of our patients. Naturopathic Medicine is based on 6 main principles.
- The Healing Power of Nature: Naturopathic medicine recognizes that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself. The role of the naturopathic physician is to support and facilitate this healing process by identifying and removing obstacles to health and promoting a balanced, natural state of being.
- Identify and Treat the Cause: Naturopathic physicians seek to identify and address the underlying causes of illness rather than merely suppressing symptoms. By addressing the root cause of disease, they aim to support the body's healing process and prevent future health problems.
- First, Do No Harm: Naturopathic medicine prioritizes the use of safe and non-invasive therapies with minimal side effects. Naturopathic physicians avoid the use of treatments that may harm the patient, focusing on methods that promote the body's self-healing mechanisms.
- Treat the Whole Person: Naturopathic medicine recognizes that health is influenced by multiple factors, including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Naturopathic physicians take a comprehensive approach, considering all aspects of a person's well-being and tailoring treatments accordingly.
- Doctor as Teacher: Naturopathic physicians educate and empower their patients to take an active role in their own health. They provide knowledge, guidance, and support, helping patients understand their condition and make informed decisions about their health.
- Prevention: Naturopathic medicine emphasizes the importance of prevention and the promotion of overall well-being. Naturopathic physicians work with patients to identify and address risk factors for disease, supporting a proactive approach to health.
- Individualized Treatment: Naturopathic medicine recognizes that each person is unique and requires personalized care. Naturopathic physicians consider individual characteristics, genetics, lifestyle, and preferences when developing treatment plans, aiming to provide tailored therapies that address the specific needs of each patient.
