Hello I am Dr. Jose Fernandez, Center Director for the Integrative Medicine and Holistic Wellness Center. In these trying times, we are all doing our best to stay healthy and well and Integrative Medicine can play a big role in helping you achieve this. Integrative Medicine is a new concept in healthcare offering traditional mainstream medical therapies alongside alternative or complementary therapies as seen below. Integrative Medicine also promotes health and wellness (disease and disability prevention) in contrast to the current “disease model” of traditional health care that focuses on the treatment of Acute illness and medical emergencies.
