Dr. Aagenes Writes for Patients and for Doctors

Dr. Aagenes spends substantial time writing for patients and for other doctors. Areas of focus for her writing include a monthly column in Helena's daily newspaper, The Independent Record. Her column is generally published on the fourth Tuesday of each month. About four times a year the Natural Medicine Clinic publishes a newsletter for our own patients, Health Habits. Dr. Aagenes is writing for other doctors and has had her first article published nationally in a medical journal called Integrative Medicine: A Clinician's Journal. She is also working on a book for patients about how to receive good care, and a book on how clinicians experience their practices.

Dr. Aagenes sees patients only on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. On Wednesday and Thursday she works at her home study with her writing.
