Integrative health care provides a patient-centered, individualized alternative to conventional medical practices. It’s a more preventative approach, establishing a foundation of wellness so that patients are more conscious of their long-term health trajectory and how they can change it. By offering integrative health options on-site, employers reduce the risk of higher health care costs in the future due to more serious health conditions and employees are healthier, happier, and more productive.
