“Hospitals and clinics like to focus on disease and treatment. People stay healthy when they focus on wellness and make healthy lifestyle choices on a daily basis. As a physician, I help people find what healthy choices they can make and what beneficial habits they want to develop. That may be related to food choices, but it also may pertain to their sleep patterns, stress reactions, and coping mechanisms. I love looking at the whole person and coming up with complete solutions” expressed Dr. Woolger. 

Under the leadership of preventive cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston, The Agatston Center for Preventive Medicine is a concierge medicine practice that allows patients and physicians to spend the necessary time personalizing care. Its mission is to deliver the best available care to patients in the most efficient and timely manner.

As Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Miami for more than three decades, Dr. Woolger served as the medical director of the UHealth Champions program, and was essential to the development of the institution’s progressive program.

She moved to The Agatston Center for Preventive Medicine in 2018, where she provides personalized attention and focuses on all aspects of preventive health care.
