Webinar: The roadmap for strengthening health systems through whole-person care

Reducing costs, improving patient experience and outcomes, and enhancing clinician wellbeing are top priorities for today’s health systems. To achieve these objectives, leading organizations are adopting the value-based care model known as whole-person care. It incorporates proven approaches such as evidence-based conventional medicine, non-drug treatments (including complementary and alternative medicine), and self-care.

Join this discussion to hear from clinicians and health system leaders who have successfully implemented this transformative model of care. Panelists will provide insight into how whole-person care powers outstanding outcomes, improved patient and clinician experience, and overall cost savings.

Join this webinar to:

• Learn how whole-person care works and the evidence that shows how it can meet the quadruple aim
• Review health system and clinic case studies that demonstrate cost savings and improved patient outcomes as a result of integrative, whole-person healthcare
• Learn practical ways to implement a whole-person approach to care within your own health system or clinic
