By identifying effective therapies and bringing them into clinical practice, our researchers help the clinic maintain its leadership position in providing excellent health care for the mind, body and spirit.

Areas of research include:

• Studying integrative medicine treatment in relation to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
