Integrative Medicine has been called the "new medicine" but in many ways, it is a return to the original practice and philosophy of medicine. It emphasizes the relationship between the doctor and patient, the innate healing ability of the body and the importance of addressing all aspects of an individual's life to attain optimal health and healing.

Our physicians and complementary medicine practitioners consciously blend the very best of conventional medicine, cutting-edge diagnosis and treatment with appropriate therapies. We strive to include therapies backed by scientific evidence to improve health and promote healing, while minimizing any side-effects or harm. All factors that affect health, wellness and disease are considered to promote optimal healing of the mind, body and spirit in all their complexity.

Established in 1997.

In 1997 Northwestern Memorial Hospital created an integrative medicine program (the NMPG Center for Integrative Medicine) in response to both patient demand and a clear need in the Chicagoland community for safe and effective integrative and complementary medicine approaches.

In 2008 we moved to our current location, a larger and more convenient space for patients to receive a broad array of services. In addition to growing our staff and clinical offerings, our program expanded to provide services to other areas of Northwestern, such as the cancer center.

We also grew our education initiatives. We have a wide array of public classes/symposiums throughout the year. We educate Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine students and physicians, with the goal of helping the next generation of doctors be knowledgable in integrative therapies. In 2011 our name changed to Northwestern Integrative Medicine to reflect our commitment to the 3 pillars: clinical care, education and research.
