Member guidelines for health record submissions:
As you start your wellness journey with Optimal Wellness Living, we begin a relationship together that will take course over the months and years to come. We will want to understand the complexity of who you are, your story, the triggers and precipitating factors that have impacted your health, and where this has brought you to date.
