Kumar Conscious Health, a functional medicine practice that has been based primarily on telemedicine, is closing its doors to clinical care and is moving to a brand-new health center at 505 Congress Street, in Seaport, South Boston. The South Boston Community Health Center is opening a new clinic that will be called South Boston Health/Seaport at which Dr. Meenakshi Kumar will be the lead physician. There, she will be practicing functional medicine along with primary care (family medicine), allowing her to care for patients of all ages.

Visit lengths will range from 20 to 40 minutes and will be covered by insurance. A functional nutritionist will also be working on-site with Kumar, and together they will lead group visits, workshops, yoga and meditation in the near future in a beautiful group space at the center. Specialized functional medicine testing and allergy treatments will be provided at the center, as well.

“We are committed to bringing functional medicine to the community in a model that is cost-effective and in alignment with the needs of the community,” says Kumar. “The ability to be in a community health center and provide this type of much needed care is extremely exciting and timely with the growing knowledge of how our body, minds and spirit relate to each other in creating optimal health.”
