Functional Medicine in Your Backyard
The vision of the TransMed Complex is to bring together functional medicine providers in order to serve our community more efficient and effectively. Since it's conception, TransMed Complex has added a host of providers who work to solve deep-rooted issues, rather than simply treat a symptom.
Through thoughtful discussion with leaders in the TransMed Complex, the TransMed Wellness Expo was born. It is our goal to create an annual event to celebrate the functional medicine providers not only in our complex, but in surrounding areas, in hopes of spreading the word and message of functional medicine to those in our community.
