Integrative medicine incorporates a range of diverse therapeutic practices into conventional medical treatment to help patients achieve optimal health and wellbeing. Because integrative medicine is based upon a model of health and wellness — as opposed to a model of disease — ancient healing practices such as acupuncture, yoga and therapeutic bodywork are recognized by many providers as necessary components of personalized, patient-centered care. These therapies complement and are incorporated into treatment plans for serious chronic conditions, such as autoimmune disease and cancer, for their effectiveness in reducing pain, nausea and other symptoms.
“Research shows that patients benefit from integrative services that work in harmony with their medical care. Our expert practitioners specialize in the treatment of complex chronic conditions and provide personalized preventive care. The generosity of our donors helps to ensure that these therapies are available to every patient.”
