Holistic Care at Saint Mary’s
Integrated Medicine - a holistic healing program for hospital
patients
Saint Mary’s Integrative Medicine Program offers patients
staying in the hospital, focused care that combines the best
of conventional medicine with innovative complementary therapies.
We believe that focusing on you as a whole person –
mind, body, and spirit, not only aids in the healing process,
but also improves your overall wellness and quality of life.
Our commitment is to respect you as a whole person and to
inform you of all of your health options so that you become
an active participant in your own recovery.
We offer research-based complementary therapies that promise
real benefits. Complementary therapies assist in reducing
length of stay in the hospital, reducing pain, fatigue and
nausea, relieving stress and headaches, increasing circulation
and joint flexibility, decreasing depression, anxiety and
more. Integrative medicine services are provided by the staff
from Saint Mary’s Wege Institute for Mind Body and Spirit.
These services are optional and are offered free of charge.

services.
