Now Windber Medical Center offers more than traditional hospital services. Through our Integrative Health Center, treatments are offered that help the body release its own healing forces.
Doctors emphasize the importance of both mind and body for wellness. Integrative healthcare gives people the tools to nurture the connection between the mind and body, empowering people to help heal themselves.
Integrative health care allows one to develop a partnership with their healthcare team. One can now take an active role in their own wellness.
As a Planetree hospital, we believe in total healthcare that heals the whole person – mind, body and spirit. Factors like stress play a disruptive role in the body’s natural ability to heal itself. In order to be healthy, one must have a sense of emotional and physical balance hence integrative healthcare gives one the tools to bring the mind, body and spirit to it’s peak abilities. The most effective way to use integrative health care is to utilize the services in combination with each other.
