Mission

The Osher Collaborative for Integrative Health amplifies the collective impact of the eleven Osher Centers on health and well-being for all.

The Coordinating Center

The Coordinating Center of the Osher Collaborative for Integrative Health supports our shared mission of fostering integrative health internationally by fulfilling three key functions: strengthening connections among Osher Centers for Integrative Health, enhancing the engagement of Osher Collaborative members across sites, and facilitating collaborative educational, clinical, and research initiatives. This global hub, hosted by the UCSF Osher Center, provides the infrastructure to support collaborative initiatives across all eleven Osher Centers.
