Integrative Health Learning Community

From 2020 through 2022, the FMEC convened 17 residency programs and community clinics to learn about the HOPE Toolkit, non-pharmacological approaches for pain and opioid management, and evidence-based complementary treatments and support of self-care for chronic diseases. Through this project, they improved their integrative health services by learning from other clinics, accessing tools, and educational resources, and engaging in practice improvement and evaluation. 

The project released case studies which capture challenges and successes from four participating clinics: the Cleveland Clinic, University of California Health, Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, and University of Cincinnati Health. In addition to highlights from participating sites, the case study reports include an overview of whole-person care and IH, evidence supporting whole-person care, and information on quality improvement methodology.

Read about the case studies in this FMEC News Release and access the full case study reports on the Healing Works Foundation Website Resources page.

The Integrative Health Learning Community was funded by The Samueli Foundation. If you are interested in supporting FMEC’s work on whole-person care and integrative health, please contact Scott Allen at scott.allen@fmec.net.
