Our Mission

Transform healthcare, through evidence-based integrative medicine strategies, to promote well-being, health and healing throughout the lifespan.

Our Vision

We envision a transformed system of healthcare that empowers patients, families and communities to actively participate in their health journeys through shared decision-making with an interprofessional team of clinicians.

Our Goals

Provide education to support the dissemination of knowledge and skills to clinicians and students as well as patients and communities, in order to facilitate the use of integrative healthcare strategies for health promotion and wellbeing. Engage in research that is pragmatic, innovative and collaborative to inform effective integrative clinical care and integrative medicine education. Create clinical healing environments where patients and an interprofessional team of clinicians work together collaboratively to define and pursue health goals.
