Holistic & Integrative Medicine

Holistic medicine is a form of medical treatment that attempts to deal with the whole person and not merely with his or her physical condition and integrative medicine combines treatments from conventional medicine and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) for which there is some high-quality evidence of safety and effectiveness. The integrative medicine model recognizes the critical role the patient- practitioner relationship plays in a patient's overall healthcare experience, and it seeks to care for the whole person by taking into account the many interrelated physical and nonphysical factors that affect health, wellness, and disease, including the spiritual and psychosocial dimensions of people's lives.
