A MESSAGE FROM OUR LEADERS

Lori Knutson, RN, BSN, HNB-BC, Administrative Director David C. Leopold, M.D., DABFM, Medical Director

This Overview and Outcomes Report will highlight our unique care model and the accomplishments of Hackensack Meridian Integrative Health & Medicine. In just two years, we went from a vision and concept to a full-fledged program delivering outpatient services, inpatient care, providing education and training, and launching our first research study. We have solidified partnerships in the community, and integrated programs and services network-wide.

We are deeply grateful for the generosity of our donors who have supported our entrepreneurial efforts in creating a new service for our patients, team members, and community as a whole.

There have definitely been challenges along the way. Just six months into our build, we experienced large scale cultural changes with the merger of Hackensack University Health Network and Meridian Health; and 2017 saw the launch of Epic, our new electronic health record.

We have developed an amazing committed team of professional experts who are personally passionate about transforming health care and optimizing the health experience for all those we serve.

Our future is unlimited. In the near future, we look forward to:

? Additional outpatient locations ? Transforming nursing care at the bedside

through our integrative nurse training program ? Ensuring strong collaborations with our physician colleagues both in primary care and specialty services to enhance the overall health and well-being of patients ? Demonstrating our clinical effectiveness and the return on investment ? Exploring new ways to move further upstream in the health of our community through addressing social determinants of health ? Developing partnerships with employers ? Delivering integrative medicine curriculum for Seton Hall Medical School

Our intention is to be the regional experts in supporting individuals to optimize their health and well-being and to develop a national presence as leaders in the field of integrative health and medicine.

OUR UNIQUE CARE MODEL

OUR UNIQUE CARE MODEL

Hackensack Meridian Integrative Health & Medicine's mission is to empower community members to reach the highest expression of themselves in mind, body and spirit and to promote optimal health. We work as partners with primary care physicians and specialists to humanize care and create a culture of health. We approach care and service from our Five Pillars of Health & Well-being (Five Pillars).

SLEEP: Quality and quantity of sleep is essential for the body and brain to heal, repair, and prepare for the next day. Sleeping disorders or not getting enough sleep can lead to many chronic illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes.

ACTIVITY: Physical activity is fundamental to the circulatory and respiratory systems and produces bio-chemicals such as endorphins that promote positive emotions and brain functions.

PURPOSE: A sense of purpose is that which gives meaning to one's life. Having a reason to get up in the morning adds not only years to your life, but also life to your years.

NUTRITION: Food is the fuel by which our mind and body function. Proper nourishment helps to keep people sustained through life's challenges.

RESILIENCE: The ability to "bounce back" and adapt to adversity are the skills needed to respond to stress in order to thrive versus survive.
