The Graf Center for Integrative Medicine, located on the Englewood Hospital campus, offers a combination of traditional and complementary services that promote recovery and empower you to live a healthy lifestyle. 

We’ve designed many services for people facing an illness. But anyone can benefit from integrative medicine. If you’re looking to make positive lifestyle changes for your physical, mental, and social well-being, we invite you to make an appointment or join us at one of our upcoming classes and events. 

What is integrative medicine?

Unlike alternative medicine (a non-mainstream approach used instead of conventional medicine), integrative medicine uses non-mainstream therapies together with conventional medicine. If you seek integrative medicine services while being treated for a health issue, we will work with your own doctor to help tailor a treatment plan. Above all, your safety always comes first. 

Our team includes acupuncturists, yoga instructors, holistic nutritionists and dietitians, massage therapists, meditation instructors, Reiki practitioners, and more. Our team members are all licensed or certified, and we are overseen by a medical doctor. So you can trust us for safe, evidence-based care. 

Benefits of Integrative Medicine

Integrative medicine care can:

  • Minimize nausea and vomiting, such as while undergoing chemotherapy or after surgery
  • Relieve stress, anxiety, and depression
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Reduce pain, such as after surgery or pain caused by cancer treatment
  • Reduce the symptoms of lymphedema
  • Help you with insomnia or other sleep issues
  • Improve your diet and support your nutrition goals or weight loss efforts
  • Support you in quitting smoking
  • Improve physical fitness or mobility, including for people with arthritis or Parkinson’s disease
  • Decrease hot flashes
  • Decrease inflammation, which is linked to many diseases and health complaints, and improve your immune system

Integrative medicine refers to the use of conventional and complementary therapies together in a coordinated and evidence-based way, to facilitate the healing process. In integrative medicine, we consider the patient as a whole person and develop a plan for healing that addresses all aspects of health.
