Integrative Health
Integrative healthcare enhances traditional medicine with complementary therapies — such as acupuncture, yoga, aromatherapy, massage and mindfulness — to address the whole person. Families interested in this holistic approach to health and wellness may benefit from CHOP’s Integrative Health Program. Our team of specially trained providers offers children evidence-based integrative therapies that are safe, effective and can help improve your whole family’s quality of life.
