Whole health care is a personalized approach to care that changes the conversation from, “What’s the matter?”  to, “What matters to you?” It starts by putting you – and not an illness – at the center of care.

What Matters to You?

What matters most to you in your life? When you think about these priorities, ask yourself if you are doing everything you can to achieve these goals. Instead of focusing on the challenges in your life, think about what encourages you to work through those challenges. For example, what drives you to stick with your rehabilitation, to watch your diet, or to seek help for issues you are facing? Then envision yourself at your healthiest. What do you see? Whole health care starts with these questions.

Whole Health focuses on:

  • What really matters to you (Mission, Aspiration, Purpose)
  • Proactive self-care that can help you enjoy a future of well-being, joy and vitality
  • Inclusive of body, mind, spirit and relationships with others

Tomah VA Whole Health offers a variety of options to include battlefield acupuncture, emotional freedom tapping, mindfulness, Tai Chi, yoga, and more.
