AIHM is leading a global community of integrative healthcare professionals committed to that new paradigm.  Collectively we are transforming the fractionalized disease-care model into a holistic, sustainable, person-centered model.   Body, mind, spirit, community, planet. 

As we know, healthcare is in a state of crisis around the world.  Trillions are spent on the global healthcare sector globally – the majority of which is spent to manage preventable chronic diseases.  Both the global pharmaceutical industry and the health insurance industry are multi-billion dollar industries.  More recently, the global pandemic, climate change challenges, and inequities in healthcare are creating even more stress on this sick-care system.   

As a clinician, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and isolated.  Many health professionals are burning out. We need to support each other and what we need now more than ever, is to establish a new paradigm that truly focuses on health and well-being and that will takes us from sick care to health care. 

Healthcare transformation will require unprecedented changes to our thinking, our actions, health professional education, fee for service payment systems, and delivery of care.  We need more than just a new paradigm of thinking. We need action – we need a global movement that assures health care for all, provides collaborative, team-based, patient centered care that truly focuses on creating health and well-being.
