Call for WELLNESS AcTIVITIES

The theme of the International Congress is “Leaders & Learners, Advancing Whole Health Together" which should be considered when crafting your submission. There is an increasing amount of research related to integrative medicine, leading to a growing body of evidence supporting the use of integrative and whole-health strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. Our goal is to convene champions of whole health to discuss how they are using evidence-based information to drive integrative, whole-person health care and ensure its quality and accessibility to all.
