Overview

The primary goals of this initiative are to provide patients and staff with mind-body healing strategies and education, encouraging the incorporation of these strategies into patient care, and foster a caring and healing environment throughout NYU Langone Medical Center. 

It is recognized that patients are more than the sum of their parts and that attention to all aspects of their being – mind, body and spirit – is essential in the healing process. 

The MindBody Education & Patient Care Program, which began in 2004, now serves more than 1300 patients a year through bedside patient visits and Prepare for Surgery workshops.
