Complimentary Medicine
The philosophy at Holy Cross Hospital is compatible with the World Health Organization’s definition of health that equates health with well-being: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” This new integrative model of complementary medicine relies on “evidence-based” practices. Each holistic therapy offered by Holy Cross is scientifically researched and proven effective in a plan combined with standard treatment of disease. They are applied in accordance with the best care of individual patients in mind. Help us treat the entire patient by supporting our complementary medicine programs.
