Treating the whole person
The WSHC Clinical Care Initiative, led by Dr. Kye Peven, strives to increase access to high-quality holistic medicine. Our focus on holistic medicine necessitates a shift in the way we think about healthcare. These areas include:
- A focus on health that is equal or greater to the focus on disease
- Working towards individualized medicine
- Emphasizing the doctor-patient relationship
- Recognizing that health is priceless
- Offering Direct-Care in place of Fee-For-Service
- Recognizing the limitations of using insurance for healthcare
For a more detailed examination of these topics see [link].
In service to these concepts, our work encompasses:
- Developing nonprofit holistic clinics throughout North America through a sustainable, collaborative business model
- Creating employment opportunities for holistic clinicians
- Mentoring Clinic Directors on business development
- Facilitating access to integrative medicine for the underserved
- Fostering integration among multiple medical models in a clinical environment
