Our purpose and priorities
 The NE Ohio Chapter Board was recently asked by AHMA's National Headquarters to finalize our decisions on what we felt were our chapter's purpose and priorities. We have been developing the purpose since our inception almost two years ago. It has been a contemplative, soul-searching task.
We want to do so much to support holistic health and medicine in NE Ohio. We all know we can't do everything, so we've had to prioritize what is the best use of our resources.

"Holistic Psychiatry"
Three highly regarded psychiatrists, Francoise Adan, M.D., Jodie Skillicorn, D.O., and Moshe Torem, M.D., present the latest developments in holistic psychiatry and how it compares to conventional traditional psychiatry.
Enjoy an evening that will be both experiential and informative as we explore the integration of the mind, body and spirit in psychiatry. Also, tour the new Ahuja Medical Center from 5:30 - 6:00 pm or 8:30 - 9:00 pm.

| What is holistic psychiatry? | |
Dr. Skillicorn answers
The word psychiatry derives from the French word psychiatrie meaning "a doctor of the soul." Holistic psychiatry seeks to return to those ancestral roots. In order to heal the soul one must reintegrate the Whole Person, including not only the neurotrans-mitters in the brain but the mind, body, spirit, environment and the energy connecting them. How does one even begin such a lofty undertaking?

UH Ahuja Medical Center is designed to be cost-effective and energy-efficient.
