Integrated Health Program (IHP)
The Integrated Health Program (IHP) evaluates the evidence behind Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) modalities to look for CAM practices which may have applicability in promoting Veterans health and well-being. The IHP works collaboratively with the Office of Patient Centered Care and Cultural Transformation as part of the Integrated Health Coordinating Center.
Data demonstrates how there has been significant growth in the number of modalities at VA sites which are providing Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Services, such as Acupuncture, Meditation, Massage Therapy, Chiropractic care, Stress Management Relaxation Therapy, Progressive Muscle Relaxation, Guided Imagery and Biofeedback.
