Coming soon – OIC at the Intersections
Omaha Integrative Care (OIC) will provide the integrative health and wellness services on the campus as well as at their existing location at 120th & Blondo.
Integrative medicine is a holistic approach guided by each person’s unique set of circumstances – physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental. Integrative medicine utilizes a wide array of treatments and modalities to treat illness as well as enhance wellness throughout the lifespan. Integrative medicine treatments include conventional care and puts the patient at the center. The goal is always to partner with the client in creating a personal path to health and wellness utilizing healing approaches that best meet their needs and beliefs. Inherent in an integrative model is practicing from a trauma-competent lens and making diversity, equity, and inclusion a priority. Read more.
