Consider this: Up to 90 percent of ALL health problems are related to stress.
Doctors and other healthcare practitioners can gain a new perspective on how to handle this deadly issue at next month’s HOLISTIC HEALTH NOW conference in Cleveland. This conference, the American Medical Holistic Association’s annual meeting, runs from Nov. 5 to 7 at the Renaissance Hotel in Cleveland. It offers critical insight into approaches to battling stress.
HOLISTIC HEALTH NOW is meant for doctors, healthcare practitioners and anyone interested in complementary/alternative/integrative healthcare. The conference also offers Continuing Medical Education to physicians and nurses for their CNE requirements, and CPE’s for counselors and social workers
Conference Co-Chair and President-Elect J. David Forbes of Nashville, Tennessee, said: “Our goal is to create an environment for learning from distinguished speakers who have a vision for the future of healthcare. You can also network with friends, old and new, and share ideas that have helped you survive and thrive in holistic medicine.”
Speakers include Dr. Bruce Wilson (cardiologist) and session topics such as, “Transforming Stress, Transforming Lives: The Impact on Employees and Patient Outcomes.” According to Donna Nowak, Executive Director/CEO, “The AHMA is setting a standard for collaboration that is proving to be very beneficial to the integrative healthcare movement.” The pre-conference was created in collaboration with the Integrated Therapies Committee of MetroHealth Medical Center and Western Reserve Geriatric Education Center.
A Deep-dive Into Specialty Pharma
A specialty drug is a class of prescription medications used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions. Although this classification was originally intended to define the treatment of rare, also termed “orphan” diseases, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US, more recently, specialty drugs have emerged as the cornerstone of treatment for chronic and complex diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.
The event concludes Saturday evening, Nov. 7, with a gala event of delicious and nutritious food and a healthy dose of holistic comedy, music and dancing.
The American Holistic Medical Association’s mission is to help transform medicine to a more holistic model—integrating all aspects of well-being: physical, mental, environmental, emotional, spiritual and social health. Historically an MD/DO organization, the AHMA maintains a focus on physicians, while expanding its outreach to include other healthcare providers who understand the value of a holistic approach.
