Words on Wellbeing from Resolute Health

Resolute Health is proud to introduce a new approach to caring for seniors that impacts all aspects of their wellbeing—keeping the body, mind and spirit healthy. And Resolute Health is also reaching out to younger patients in schools with our e-Visit program—the first in South Central Texas allowing physicians to diagnose and prescribe medications for students via videoconference.

Resolute Health e-Visit

The e-Visit program is an innovative and convenient way for doctors at our Urgent Care clinic to examine students remotely via groundbreaking telemedicine technology that transmits vital signs. Using special cameras, the school nurse can show the doctor close-up pictures, allowing them to make an accurate and timely diagnosis.

The program kicked off this past week at Canyon High School. We’re working to expand the program to other Comal ISD schools soon.

Introducing the Institute for Longevity

Resolute Health has opened a one-of-a-kind medical program aimed specifically at the needs of our older patients.

Led by Anthony Bienek, DO, the Institute for Longevity (IFL) will provide a comprehensive suite of care that goes beyond the medical needs of seniors, providing behavioral health, fitness, nutrition and social support services. With a goal of total quality of life improvement, a multidisciplinary team will carefully tailor an individual plan to improve each patient’s physical and mental health and wellbeing. IFL will be located in the Center for Wellbeing, sharing space with the Endocrine & Diabetes Institute. Because many physician practices are full or don’t accept Medicare, options for seniors in our area are limited. The Institute for Longevity will accept Medicare along with other insurance plans, making care more affordable and accessible. The institute promises to be a new model for helping seniors get the most out of their golden years.

Caring for Our Uninsured Patients

In an effort to help those in our community without insurance better afford urgent care services, Resolute Health has come up with MemberCare, a direct urgent care services membership plan specifically designed for uninsured individuals, families and small businesses.

MemberCare is also beneficial for individuals and families with high deductible insurance plans. Members receive significant discounts ranging from $20 to $50 or more per visit over self-pay rates.

The plan requires a small sign-up fee, a monthly membership fee and a small co-pay per visit. Services covered with membership include the office visit, all general medical care (injuries, acute illnesses), splinting/bracing for sprains, strains and fractures, suture removal, an annual flu shot, various physicals, and treatment of eye injuries and infections.

Visits requiring X-ray, in clinic lab work, IV therapy, laceration repair, incision and drainage will be billed an additional $50 fee. Read Less

Part of cultivating a community of health and wellness is crafting and providing programs that focus as much on wellness as our treatment programs focus on illness. Two new programs that we’ve added to the Resolute Health suite aim to give get families off to a healthy start. Read on to learn more about BeStrong and Wellness for 2.

BeStrong

BeStrong is a new, one-of-a-kind health and wellbeing program for kids and their parents. The nine-week program is developed by a pediatric endocrinologist, has proven success, and offers nutrition counseling with a registered dietician, one-on-one sessions with a certified personal trainer, hands-on cooking demonstrations, behavioral support, goal setting, lifestyle coaching, healthy field trips and more.

Wellness for 2

Healthy mothers with healthy behaviors during pregnancy lead to healthier babies. The Wellness For 2 program is designed to provide women with the tools and resources necessary to reduce health risks for themselves and their babies before, during and after pregnancy.

The Wellness for 2 App

To help make the Wellness for 2 program more convenient and get moms to integrate healthy habits and healthier living into their daily lives, Resolute Health has developed a free iPhone and iPad app. Download it now for FREE.

The free app uses several tools to track physical health and milestones throughout pregnancy while offering helpful, detailed information about the baby’s development each week.

Dr. Anthony Bienek is the director of the new Institute for Longevity. Dr. Bienek earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Touro University College of Osteopathic Medicine, and did his residency Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and has extensive experience in research. He came to Resolute Health to work with seniors because he enjoys working with older adults.

“Their life stories are so rich, and I love getting to know their personal stories. I want to help them have the lifestyle they want to have, so they can enjoy this stage of their lives.”

Dr. Bienek himself is a twin—one of the first set of twins born at Northeast Baptist Hospital in San Antonio—and has five-month-old twin boys of his own. While spending time with family is his first love, Dr. Bienek also loves Art History (Impressionist painters) and restoring classic cars (a ‘68 Camero SS and a ‘68 Corvette Stingray convertible, to be exact).
