Pediatric Integrative Medicine
What is Integrative Health?
"Integrative health care often brings conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way. It emphasizes a holistic, patient-focused approach to health care and wellness—often including mental, emotional, functional, spiritual, social, and community aspects—and treating the whole person rather than, for example, one organ system. It aims for well-coordinated care between different providers and institutions."

This site is mean to be dynamic and fun! On this site you will find various resources including information about Integrative Pediatrics, blog posts, interviews with some amazing Change Makers...basically whatever we have found inspiring and has helped us on our path working towards a more holistic and just health care system.
This site also functions as a landing pad for teaching resources for the Pediatric Residents at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland, so you will also note some of the content is password protected.
