1993 - 2007
Founded in 1993, the Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine builds bridges between diverse therapeutic traditions and modern medicine. We promote a more inclusive medical system by using scientific inquiry to ensure that the valuable health practices of other cultures are better understood and integrated with Western medical practices. At a time when more people are using diverse therapies to maintain health or treat illness - from acupuncture and herbal supplements to meditation, massage and yoga - we are working to understand which options are safe and effective. By researching what works and sharing this information with the medical community, we are helping physicians partner with traditional practitioners in the spirit of a common goal - broadening treatment options for people around the world. The Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine was a member of the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine (CAHCIM), a consortium of academic health centers involved in teaching, research, and clinical care focused on complementary medicine techniques.
