Beverley Ikier of the Ikier Center has been invited to join a pilot program in collaboration with Harvard and Jill's List, which aims to include complimentary and alternative medical techniques into traditional healthcare practices.
The participants include Boston Medical Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital will be soon to follow. Boston area MD's over the next three months will begin referring their patients to alternative practitoners invited to be in the study, such as Beverley.
This is breaking news in the healthcare industry as in most contemporary and alternative therapies there is an element of stress management, which hightlights the ill effects of stress and its impact on health.
One of the differentiating aspects of this study is that it aims to keep track of patients and follow their progress and improvements from the use of alternative therapies. Hopefully, it will be the beginning of even more collaborations between physicians and alternative pracitioners.
