Let us tell you how the Integrative Health Policy Consortium and its many partners are leading the charge on Capital Hill, advocating for the Integrative Health Care Community, and why we need to take action to support these efforts.

Actually, they can say it better. 

• “Since convening the National Policy Dialogue, IHPC has built and maintained a vital network of people and organizations who are working every day to bring integrated health care to the forefront in the US.”
•  “IHPC functions as a critical watchdog of federal agencies charged with overseeing America’s health and health research needs.”
• “IHPC answered the call to create a venue for dialogue and planning among CAM and conventional healthcare professionals so they could plan the changes needed in the educational processes and content of all healthcare professionals to create real integrated care. Both the Institute of Medicine and the National Policy Dialogue have also called for such collaborative planning.”

The Integrative Health Policy Consortium also watches the FDA activities and meets with the American Medical Association and Alternative Link concerning Complementary and Alternative Medicine billing codes. 

They also maintain an active relationship with the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the National Institutes of Health.

This is just a meager example of the amazing work IHPC and its partners are doing.

As the Integrative Health Policy Consortium works diligently towards changing how our healthcare system is structured, starting at the top we can support their efforts on the ground by emailing our representatives asking them to support IHPC and to support the integrative healthcare community.
