Description:
The Penny George Institute provides integrative medicine at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, both for inpatients and at an outpatient clinic. Integrative medicine blends the best of conventional medicine with healing philosophies and a variety of healing therapies. These therapies, often drawn from other medical traditions, emphasize caring for the whole person and focus on healing as much as curing. 

Anyone who seeks an integrative approach to healing can access one-to-one healing therapies, including: 

  • acupuncture
  • biofeedback
  • healing coach sessions
  • healing touch
  • herbal consultation
  • integrative medicine physician consultation
  • massage therapy
  • nutritional consultation
  • therapeutic yoga
  • exercise therapy at the LiveWell Fitness Center

To complement the medical care offered through other hospital outpatient programs, the Institute for Health and Healing works closely with the Virginia Piper Cancer Institute.

Founded by the George Family Foundation and the Ted and Roberta Mann Foundation, the George Institute recognizes the value of conventional medicine in treating many chronic and acute conditions, as well as its limits when dealing with the complex needs of patients. In addition, like their conventional medicine partners, practitioners at the George Institute advocate using sound clinical research to test the effectiveness of complementary medicine practices.
