For Clinicians

We treat the whole patient, body and mind.

What is Integrative Healthcare?

Ha.Lé Integrative Healthcare values the role of biological, psychological, and social factors for wellbeing to improve physical and mental functioning. When coupled with conventional medical therapies, it:

  • Improves health outcomes
  • Increases individual resilience
  • Optimizes healthy behaviors
  • Empowers patients 
  • Encourages healthier lifestyles
  • Supports coping with illness

 

What We Provide

We provide Integrative Therapies to adult patients in consultation with our board-certified physicians.

Generally, patients have access to many unconventional therapies for their health, and many of those therapies may not be effective or safe. Ha.Lé is committed to do no harm, offering safe, evidence-based treatment.

Our doctors provide Integrative Medical Consultations to patients that align with their other health care providers.

During visits, our doctors will review the patient’s medical history, current treatments, present conditions, medications, nutrition, activity level, and stress management. They will provide an integrative treatment plan that will incorporate integrative modalities. Treatment plans and patient updates are provided to the patients’ physicians where relevant.

What We Don’t Provide

Integrative Medical Consultations do not replace the care provided by patients’ primary care or specialty physicians. Our doctors will not prescribe medications to any patients during Integrative Consultations. We advocate for patients to continue and seek routine healthcare under the direction of their physicians. Our goal is for patients to be more engaged in their personal health which includes ongoing preventative and regular health assessments from their physicians.

“The most important thing I learned in medical school is that the wisest physician resides within each of us and responds to restful sleep, healthy food, and proper movement. The practitioners at Ha.Lé understand this, and use their knowledge and experience to guide each person on a path to uncover optimal health. Their comprehensive and wholistic approach is affordable and accessible, and the best I’ve ever seen in the alternative healthcare sector.”
