About The Amberwing Center
The AFP vision has always been to provide comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, collaborative care that empowers patients to engage in their own health journey through partnership with multiple providers – MDs, PAs, psychologists, health coaches, nutritionists etc
Over the years, AFP has offered a variety of classes and groups that use this whole-person, multi-disciplinary
approach and we have seen how powerful it can be. Currently, however, these classes and groups are not being covered by insurance.
The Amberwing Center allows us to continue offering high-quality care through affordable, classes and coaching groups for both AFP patients and non-patients.
