This gem sparkles with numerous observations and suggestions on developing integrative care programs in conventional medical settings, ranging from general practice, through hospital pain, neonatal, and oncology units, and more.

A few of the many helpful suggestions:

Allow sufficient time to gather support from everyone who will be involved prior to launching an integrative care program

Teach mothers of newborns to give their babies massages.

Provide massages for staff who are prone to burnout on oncology units.
