New Coalition Is Another Stepping Stone Toward Whole Person Health Director’s Page Helene M. Langevin, M.D.

https://www.nccih.nih.gov/about/offices/od/director/past-messages/new-coalition-is-another-stepping-stone-toward-whole-person-health?nav=govd I am proud of the progress that the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) has made, taking distinct steps toward supporting the health of the whole person. Not only did we prioritize whole person health within NCCIH by incorporating it into our strategic plan, but we have also taken the lead in engaging colleagues within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and stakeholders outside of NIH to encourage a wider conversation on integrating a whole person approach into research. Additionally, we defined a framework for discussion and fostered the necessary work to develop research methods that support increasingly complex studies on whole person health.
