Much of our work at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health centers around the concept of whole person health. Whole person health involves looking at all aspects of a personânot just separate organs or body systemsâ considering multiple factors that promote either health or disease. It means helping and empowering individuals, families, communities, and populations to improve their health in multiple areasâbiological, behavioral, social, and environmental. And it means not just treating specific diseases but also focusing on restoring health, promoting resilience, and preventing diseases across the lifespan. |
