Dr. Towolawi founded Nurture Well Center in 2021 as a space for patients to feel truly nurtured while achieving their wellness goals. Nurture Well Center is a direct primary care (DPC) practice.

 

DPC is a patient-centered approach to healthcare that prioritizes accessibility, affordability, and quality. In DPC, patients pay a monthly membership fee directly to their primary care physician, which covers comprehensive primary healthcare services. This model eliminates the complexities of insurance billing, allowing for longer, unhurried appointments and more personalized care. With DPC, patients enjoy greater access to their doctor, including same-day or next-day appointments, and enhanced continuity of care, fostering a strong doctor-patient relationship based on trust and collaboration.

​

Dr. Towolawi believes in: 1) keeping healthy people healthy and  2) helping those who are sick get back to their optimal health. Nurture Well Center focuses on shifting your mindset away from disease and towards wellness. We aim to MAXIMIZE your health while minimizing your medication list. No more wondering about next steps. We offer quarterly check-ins to keep YOU engaged along your wellness journey. Our customized plans integrate traditional and non traditional evidence based practices. Nurture Well Center integrates lifestyle changes into every treatment plan as defined by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM).
