Team BreakThrough! is excited to announce that the American College of Lifestyle Medicine has selected our very own Dr. Hamilton to serve as chair of ACLM’s Mental and Behavioral Health Interest Group.
Per the ACLM, the purpose of the Mental and Behavioral Health Member Interest Group (MIG) is to bring together mental and behavioral health professionals from different backgrounds and specialties who are interested in and/or trained in working with patients from a Lifestyle Medicine framework, for an overall evidenced-based approach to well-being on an individual, community, and society level.
