Integrative medicine is becoming more popular among patients and hospitals, but it's still not available everywhere.
There are many reputable centers, but it still helps to know where to look. and are two organizations dedicated to furthering the philosophy and implementation of integrative medicine. Both groups have listings of centers in the U.S. and Canada.
