Integrative Medicine Services
 The Institute for Health and Healing at Abbott Northwestern Hospital
The Institute for Health and Healing provides integrative medicine at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, both for inpatients and at an outpatient clinic. Integrative medicine blends the best of conventional medicine with healing philosophies and a variety of healing therapies. These therapies, often drawn from other medical traditions, emphasize caring for the whole person and focus on healing as much as curing.
In-Patient Services
While hospitalized, integrative services may be requested as part of a patient's care. A practitioner from the Institute for Health and Healing visits the patient to determine which services are appropriate.
If you are considering integrative medicine, contact your physician before your hospital stay or ask your attending nurse once at the hospital. Click here for more information about specific therapies.
