About WellifyCare
A medical practice focused on the connected picture
WellifyCare Medical S.C. is a physician-led specialty practice focused on diabetes, weight, and cardiometabolic health. We care for adults who want to better understand their health, address important risk factors, and build a plan that brings medical treatment and sustainable lifestyle change together.
Our Foundation
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
— Psalm 139:14 (ESV)
Every person is created with inherent dignity and extraordinary value. The human body is a masterpiece worth understanding, protecting, and caring for. For Dr. Dere, caring for health is more than a medical responsibility. It is an act of stewardship.
This conviction shapes how every patient is treated at WellifyCare.
All people are welcome. You do not need to share our founder's faith to receive care here. Every patient—regardless of background, belief, or walk of life—is treated with compassion, respect, and clinical excellence.
Our Mission
Restoring health. Renewing hope.
To restore health, renew hope, and empower people to live longer, healthier, and more purposeful lives through personalized, evidence-based cardiometabolic care.
Our Vision
Earlier understanding. Better direction.
We envision communities where more people understand their health, recognize important risk factors earlier, make informed decisions, and receive compassionate support throughout their health journey.
Our long-term vision is to help move care toward earlier risk recognition, personalized prevention, and proactive cardiometabolic health.
Three principles shape the way we teach, plan, and care.
Know Your Body
Understanding creates confidence. When patients understand their health, their risk factors, and the reasons behind a treatment plan, they are better equipped to participate in decisions and take meaningful action. Education is the first medicine.
Protect Your Health
We bring together evidence-based medical care with practical attention to nutrition, movement, strength, sleep, and sustainable health behaviors.
The goal is to identify important risks, address what can be changed, and protect health over time.
Live With Purpose
Health is not the destination. It supports the life you want to live. More energy for family. More ability to work, serve, move, travel, worship, and participate fully in the years ahead.
WellifyCare was created from years of caring for people with chronic cardiometabolic disease—and from a desire to spend more time helping patients understand what is happening earlier. Our role is simple. listen carefully, evaluate thoughtfully, explain clearly, and build a plan around the person in front of us.
WellifyCare is a specialty medical practice focused on diabetes, obesity, and cardiometabolic health. We do not replace primary care, emergency care, or organ-specific specialty care when those services are needed. We welcome collaboration with your primary care physician and other specialists.
