The Osher Collaborative for Integrative Health
The Osher Collaborative for Integrative Medicine comprises an international group of our academic Centers funded by The Bernard Osher Foundation to study, teach and practice integrative medicine. The programs possess both unique and shared strengths in the areas of research, education and clinical care.
In April 2014, Northwestern Integrative Medicine was named the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine in recognition of a gift from Bernard Osher. With this gift, our center joined a family of integrative medicine centers affiliated with esteemed teaching hospitals and universities. Recently, we have changed our name to the Osher Center for Integrative Health. By focusing on health rather than medicine – we can advance health equity, that is, the attainment of the highest level of health for all people. The Osher Collaborative advances the field of integrative medicine through the sharing of knowledge, resources and best practices.
