❤️ We Listen — From the Heart

This Valentine’s Day, we’re reminded that the best care starts with listening.
At Protea Medical Center, we don’t just hear symptoms—we listen to you and to what your bloodwork is telling us about your body. 🩺

We take the time to review your labs in depth, looking at how your systems are working together, how nutrients are converting, and what patterns are influencing how you feel—so your care is thoughtful, personal, and rooted in understanding.

Because real healthcare isn’t rushed—it’s built on listening, education, and connection. 💗

Super Bowl Sunday = Peak Performance on the Biggest Stage

On Sunday, the world watched elite athletes push their bodies to the limit. But what most people don’t see is what happens off the field.

Behind every big play is a serious recovery and preventative strategy. At the highest level, recovery is part of training, not an afterthought.

At Protea Performance Center, we help athletes and active individuals recover smarter with:
🧬 Regenerative therapies like PRP and Bone Marrow Concentrate
🎯 Ultrasound-guided precision for targeted treatment
🦴 Whole-body assessments to prevent breakdown and re-injury

Whether you’re a competitive athlete or just train like one, recovery is what keeps you strong, consistent, and in the game.

Because peak performance isn’t just about how hard you train, it’s about how well you recover.

🩸 Bloodwork That Tells the Whole Story

At Protea Medical Center, bloodwork is more than a checklist—it’s a conversation with your body.

We don’t just look for numbers that fall “out of range.” Our providers take the time to analyze how your systems are working together, looking at patterns, conversions, and trends that reveal what’s really happening beneath the surface.

✨ What sets us apart:
• Comprehensive, high-quality blood panels
• In-depth, 1-on-1 lab review appointments
• Education that helps you understand your body
• Insight into how hormones, nutrients, metabolism, and inflammation interact

Because real health isn’t about chasing abnormal numbers—it’s about understanding why symptoms exist and how your body is responding as a whole.

At Protea, good bloodwork analysis is the key to personalized care—and empowering you with knowledge is just as important as the treatment plan itself. 🌿

01/19/2026

At Protea, we believe healthcare should be personal, thoughtful, and rooted in understanding the whole person—not just symptoms.

Our team combines compassionate care with advanced diagnostics and innovative therapies to uncover the root cause of what’s holding you back and create a plan designed specifically for you.

From hormone health and metabolic support to regenerative medicine and long-term wellness, every decision we make centers around one goal:
✨ helping you feel balanced, energized, and confident in your health.
