What is behavioral health?

Your provider at Premier Medical Clinic encourages you to make healthy changes in your life. With their expertise in primary care, they can advise you on lifestyle changes that can enhance your current and long-term health. They can also diagnose physical health problems that could be affecting your mental and behavioral health, like hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone).
