Frustrated by healthcare? Looking for signs of change? This is for you!

Dr. Mark Rowe is a leader in Lifestyle Medicine, making big strides in updating our approach to medicine. Dr. Rowe's clinic in Ireland has captured the attention of the medical community, who are now working to model his discoveries in other locations. 

Lifestyle Medicine is the fastest growing field of medicine for several reasons, but none more than it's proven to work, particularly on chronic diseases that tend to resist pharmaceutical treatments. The two work hand in hand, but more often, it's the lifestyle upgrades that prove most impactful.

Dr. Rowe is a family physician and founder of Waterford Health Park, a pioneering healthcare facility that brings together medical, wellness, and community health services in a supportive, healing environment. In 2013, Waterford Health Park was recognised globally with the ‘A Place to Flourish’ award for health improvement, highlighting our commitment to compassionate, integrated care.
