Mission Statement
Our mission is to help transform medicine and health care by bringing together the basic principles of integrative medicine for the purpose of designing a unique relationship with our patients to help in their healing process.
The Basic Principles of Integrative Medicine:
- To understand the importance of creating a partnership between patient and practitioner.
- To believe in the intrinsic nature of healing and make use of treatments that activate, unblock and support this process.
- To address all factors that influence a person's health, wellness and disease, including the mind, emotions, spirit and community, as well as the physical body.
- To recognize that good medicine should be based on good science, be inquiry driven and open to new ways of thinking.
- To emphasize the use of natural, less invasive interventions whenever possible, utilizing the broader concepts of health promotion and prevention of illness.
- To teach practitioners to be models of health and healing who are committed to the process of self-exploration and development.
- To promote healing by integrating all available treatment options, both in traditional medicine and alternative medicine.
