NIWH Whole Health Moves Into Health Care

by Georgianna Donadio, MSc, DC, PhD

If you have been following this blog you may have been wondering where I've been for the past few weeks. I am happy to report that the lack of posting has meant big things are happening at NIWH!

There has been a Whole Health revolution going on across the country. It seems that millions of people and thousands of organizations have caught on to the NIWH vision of Whole Health and what it can mean for all of us.

> NIWH is serving on the national leadership Steering Committee along side members from Duke University, Harvard Institute of Coaching, Mayo Clinic, University of Minnesota, HealthCorp - led by Dr. Met Oz, Wellcoaches and others to craft and implement health and wellness coaching standards and a national certification.

> NIWH just signed a collaboration agreement with Massachusetts General Hospital Community Health to provide our Whole Health Education program to staff nurses for the purpose of evaluating how the model enhances their work with patients.

> NIWH has recently been approved by the Department of Defense to provide Whole Health program to over 3 million active military spouses around the globe through the Military One Source, My Caa program.

> NIWH, an endorsed program of the American Holistic Nurses Association, and AsOne Coaching under the direction of Linda Bark, RN, PhD, MCC, which is also an AHNA endorsed program, has partnered to bring health coaching competencies to the Whole Health externship and practicum experience.

> NIWH and Wellcoaches, one of the leading coaching competency organizations in the world, endorsed by the American Academy of Sports Medicine, have partnered to bring Whole Health Education to the coaching community. NIWH will be adding Wellcoach’s courses to the NIWH externship and practicum components.

And, there are more collaborations on the horizon! I will keep you updated on all the most current Whole Health developments.

With all good wishes,
