Transform Lives by Supporting Integrative Health
At the Osher Center for Integrative Health, we strive to complement traditional medicine with evidence-based therapies. We emphasize a whole-person approach to wellness. With a focus on stress management, nutrition, physical activity, and environmental factors, we are dedicated to empowering individuals to take an active role in their health.
Your support enables us to conduct pioneering research, improve patient care, and educate and train health care professionals. Your support also helps us expand access to underserved populations and enhance the well-being of our employees and health care providers.
Together, we can help individuals and families prevent chronic illnesses and live healthier lives. Join us in advancing integrative health.
