The Osher Collaborative for Integrative Health comprises an international group of eleven academic health Centers funded by The Bernard Osher Foundation to study, teach, and practice integrative healthcare.
We are dedicated to advancing healthcare toward a more compassionate, whole-person-centered system that promotes wellbeing for all. Through innovation in education, research, and clinical care, we are working together to build a healthier future for individuals, communities, and the planet.
At the Osher Center for Integrative Health at UC, we are transforming healthcare to prioritize prevention and self-care by combining conventional medicine with integrative therapies and lifestyle medicine, empowering you to become an active participant in your overall well-being, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals living with chronic conditions.
