| President's Letter | |
My Trip to Washington, D.C. by Molly Roberts, MD
 Dear fellow AHMA member, I know I'm preaching to the choir, but Holistic practitioners are so much fun to be around! I just returned from participating in the Bravewell Collaborative Mapping Convening in Washington, D.C., in which representatives from 29 Integrative Medicine centers got together to see how we could all learn from each other. I went as a representative of the Institute for Health & Healing but I must admit to putting on my AHMA President hat more than once during the meeting! Read more |

Holistic
Medicine
And You Need Each Other
|
You know why you joined AHMA. You know why you practice medicine as you do. More and more, people - your patients - are looking for the integrative, holistic approach to managing their health. We learned realized (again) at last year's retreat, The Healer Within, that you, as well as each of our members, need one another to remain whole, healthy, and able to help others. AHMA doesn't have chapters in every state, however, we want to help you connect with like-minded professionals whenever and wherever possible. So please, please, help us help you. If you want to start a chapter in your area, please contact Natalie Talis; please bookmark our calendar and check it often to find helpful events and opportunities to earn CMEs. To place events on our calendar that others might benefit from, send an email to Natalie. Thanks for helping us connect you with other members! | |
