Here to Thrive: How Holistic, Functional, and Integrative Medicine Supports Healthy Aging. Age is more than a number and a person is more than the disease or condition that affects them. The aging-in-place movement represents the creation of a space for meaningful connections and deeper engagement among neighbors. Similarly, functional and integrative medicine looks beyond an individual's symptoms to identify the root cause of an illness and apply a variety of remedies, including lifestyle, holistic and traditional therapies. Taking an innovative and collaborative approach, this practice examines more than just a condition, but the whole person - in mind, body and spirit. Primary care physician Andrew Wong, M.D. will discuss the uses and methods of this specialty and how it supports adults to not just age well, but to thrive. Lunch included. This event is free and registration is required.
