Holistic Hospitals

A new web page has been created to provide information on the Integrative Medical services provided by the hospitals we use in the area. All but ECHN have been exploring and learning over the past ten years and in 2009 all but ECHN also took steps to further integrate and recognize complementary modalities. The new web page also includes some history of their programs and educational opportunities at their East of the River centers.
