Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine

Complementary & Alternative Medicine Therapies

Many people are searching for something more they can do for their health in addition to standard medical treatment. At the Jefferson-Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine in Philadelphia, we take personalized medicine to a new level. We care about your health and wellness goals, and it is our primary mission to help you achieve them.

Our physicians are guided by the science of medicine and are experts in the art of incorporating complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies into the healing approach. This combined or "integrative" way of practicing is what makes the Myrna Brind Center so unique – and effective.

In addition, our doctors and health specialists are leaders in their respective fields and all of them adhere to the highest standards of Jefferson professionalism. We welcome you to our Center, and we think you'll agree that our new state-of-the-art facilities create an environment that allows the healing process to start the moment you walk through the door.

The Mindfulness Institute, a branch of the Jefferson-Myrna Brind Center of Integrative Medicine, is the Philadelphia region's leading provider of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs in which you learn to bring the practice of mindfulness into your life.

They are available to work with you directly or in close consultation with your primary care provider or specialist.

The Center staff also includes acupuncturists, nurses, psychologists, massage and movement therapists. And we have practitioners who can teach you to access the healing potential of your mind and spirit. We all work closely together in order to collaborate on treatment strategies and coordinate your care.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

Our state-of-the art facilities are designed to maximize patient comfort and well-being. The space is architecturally magnificent and bathed in light from high windows, as well as ceiling and glass panels. We also have a tranquil outdoor healing garden accessible from our suite.

Research and Education

Based at Thomas Jefferson University's main campus, our academic program promotes research and educational activities related to integrative medicine. Researchers study health outcomes of all patients treated through our programs. Collaborative study protocols are developed with Jefferson clinical investigators and basic scientists. Our academic program has been providing professional education programs in integrative medicine for physicians, medical students, nurses and other health providers since 1995.

Our Academic Mission
The Center contributes to the growth of knowledge about integrating complementary therapies through educational and research activities. Jefferson medical students, residents, and fellows spend time at the Center in order to learn more about integrative medicine. Our physicians and therapists often lecture to professional and public audiences. We also conduct research on the health benefits of integrative medicine.
