IM4US

What is IM4US?

IM4US is a nonprofit organization that was founded by a small group of family practice physicians who had a special interest in caring for the underserved. They strongly believed that integrative health care should be accessible to their patients as well as the wealthy. IM4US sponsors an annual conference and has a membership organization that provides information, services, forums and tools for its members to help them and those that they serve.

What is the mission of IM4US?

MISSION: Integrative Medicine for the Underserved is a collaborative, multidisciplinary group of people committed to affordable, accessible integrative health care for all.

How does IM4US embody this mission?

IM4US Philosophy and Beliefs: 1) Health care is a right. 2) Optimal health care focuses on wellness as much as on treating disease. 3) Optimal health care addresses the mind, body, and spirit. 4) Social determinants of health must be addressed. 5) We believe in the power of integrating diverse health care modalities and disciplines. 6) We believe underserved patients and those providing their care need unique kinds of support. 7) Collaboration and sharing improves patient outcomes and inspires providers to remain whole-heartedly engaged in this work.
