We believe #artsandculture should be an integral part of modern health and social care. When it comes to our well-being, creativity isn't just a nice-to-have, but fundamental to individuals, communities, and systems. Take a look at this new #report from the National Centre for Creative Health (NCCH) that explores the link between #health and #creativity. https://lnkd.in/e6YBPQU3

World Health Day focuses on a specific theme or health concern, aiming to mobilize action and encourage individuals, communities, and governments to prioritize public health initiatives. WHO has chosen 'My Health, My Right' as the theme of World Health Day 2024 which focuses on the fundamental human right: access to quality health care, education and information. #WorldHealthDay #HealthAwareness #Wellness #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #HealthSolutions #PreventativeCare #HealthyLiving #HealthyCommunity #ReducingStigma #HealthInequalities #ImprovingHealthcareAccess #MentalHealthMatters #HealthyEating #Exercise #HealthYHydration #HealthIsWealth #MakingADifference #TogetherWeCan #JoinedInAction #HealthierWorld #FightForBetterHealthcare

Today is International Integrative Health Day – an important reminder about the life-changing effects that whole-person care has on our patients. Optimal health is found in the health of a person’s mind, body and spirit. It is critical to consider the balance between their biological, behavioral, social, and environmental selves.  My colleagues and I at the Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute are using evidence-informed, integrative health treatments and therapies to both treat and prevent disease across our patient’s lifespan. I’ve had the privilege of seeing first-hand how this comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach empowers patients to partner with clinicians to improve their health and fully thrive. Integrative health is about helping people live not just longer, but better. #healthcare #medicine #leadership #healthsciences #integrativehealth #wholepersoncare

Looking at Health as a function of Time would mean that our current understanding of healthcare isn’t sufficient. Modern Medicine cannot provide all the answers to our chronic afflictions and that’s where we must realize the need for a more HOLISTIC look at the functioning of the human body. Creating good health isn’t the same as managing illness. When we accept that statement, we will learn to look beyond what we currently know and marvel at our Body’s innate capacity to create good health. Harnessing this capacity requires a view that goes well beyond Modern Medicine. #preventivehealthcare #wellness #healthcare #positiveneuropsychology

🌿 Exploring Natural Health Options Responsibly, Sharing Family Remedies 🌱 At Community Health Choice, we cherish the tradition of incorporating family remedies and natural health practices into healthcare routines. Passed down through generations, these remedies hold special significance and wisdom. However, it's essential to approach these remedies with balance and caution. While some may offer benefits when used responsibly alongside evidence-based care, it's crucial not to rely solely on unproven treatments. Many natural products lack rigorous testing for efficacy and safety. Our goal is to foster open dialogues about integrating natural options thoughtfully, and under professional guidance. Discuss any natural health interests with your doctor to explore complementary options that align with your traditional treatment plan. Trust in your healthcare provider is key for navigating the vast landscape of natural health options safely. Let's responsibly explore the wisdom of family remedies while prioritizing evidence-based care for your health and wellness journey. Together, we can find the right balance for your holistic well-being. Share your family's natural remedies and health practices in the comments below! #NaturalHealthCare #FamilyRemedies 🌿💬
