We Can Make a Change
dōTERRA is doing something about this. With our healthcare initiative,
dōTERRA is not looking to simply improve health outcomes, but also
to turn the entire axis of healthcare worldwide with patient-centered
care, better accessibility, and cheaper costs. Welcome to, Prime Meridian
Health Clinics™.
Changes at our Global Campus
The 41,000-square-foot direct primary care facility, located directly across
the street from dōTERRA’s global campus in Pleasant Grove, Utah, will be
open to the public in April 2019. Along with addressing those modern
healthcare realities of long wait times, scheduling difficulties, and little time
actually spent with your medical provider, we are certain that the integrated
approach to health (based on the dōTERRA Wellness Lifestyle Pyramid)
will offer a breath of essential oil–infused fresh air and a better experience
for patients. This facility will offer the services of skilled medical professionals
as well as a new approach to the healthcare experience: one completely
focused on your needs; an effort that will help prevent situations like those
at the beginning of this article and greatly improve the standard of care
for each patient.
