The Gift of Touch... What does it mean to achieve optimal health and well-being? The answer to that question is as varied as each individual. Integrative health empowers individuals and residents to improve their health and wellness through an integrated and holistic approach. The mind, body and spirit are interconnected. At St. Francis Regional Medical Center and St. Gertrude's Health and Rehabilitation Center, we care for the whole person and empower our patients to discover their best health - mind, body and spirit. Patients or residents can struggle with insomnia, pain, nausea, fatigue, anxiety and stress. Integrative therapies can help. While in our care, integrative health therapies may be requested as a part of the patients care at no cost. When integrative therapies are used, patients and residents frequently experience increased relaxation, symptom reduction and an increased sense of well-being. Therapies offered include: acupressure/acupuncture, healing touch, guided imagery, therapeutic massage, aromatherapy, music therapy, reflexology, integrative health and relaxation techniques. At St. Francis, integrative health therapies are achieved in partnership with the Penny George Institute for Health and Healing. These holistic therapies help the body's natural ability to heal and make a powerful difference in people's lives. In 2013, the Spirit of the Saints Gala and Tee One for Hope Golf Tournament raised funds to support integrative health therapies at St. Francis and St. Gertrude's. Thank you to all sponsors and attendees for your generous support of integrative health.
