It promotes health and wellness in contrast to the current "Disease Model".

The complementary therapies used in conjunction with conventional medical services are those that have proven to be effective, safe and appropriate for a patient's condition and health status. They comprise some of the following: Holistic Medicine, Nurse Practitioner Services, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, NAET Allergy Elimination, Nutrition, Weight Loss, Physical Therapy, Life Coaching, Therapeutic Massage, Reiki and Yoga, to name a few.
