Teamwork
Multidisciplinary teams of specialists in Integrative Medicine and Health at Mayo Clinic collaborate to provide you with coordinated, comprehensive care.
Unique programs
Mayo Clinic offers several stress management and resiliency programs. One of these programs, the Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) program was developed by Mayo Clinic researchers.
Individualized approach
Health care providers at Mayo Clinic provide care for you as a whole person. Health care providers take the time to get to know you to provide exactly the care you need. Mayo providers understand everyone is different, and one approach doesn't work for everyone. Because of this, Mayo Clinic offers a variety of meditation and mind-body programs. Mayo Clinic health care providers work together with you to determine if meditation or other complementary treatments may be appropriate for you.
Evidence-based care
Mayo Clinic health care providers practice evidence-based care. Health care providers recommend meditation and other complementary and integrative therapies that have been studied and tested for their effectiveness and safety. For example, Mayo Clinic researchers developed a meditation DVD based on research results.
