As part of an effort to enhance patient care, NYU Medical Center established the MindBody Education & Patient Care Program as part of a grant from a private foundation. The primary goals of this Program are to provide mind-body healing strategies to patients, families and health care staff, encourage the incorporation of these strategies into patient care, and foster a caring and healing environment throughout the Medical Center. The MindBody Education & Patient Care Program offers Prepare for Surgery Heal Faster workshops and Relaxation Techniques for Treatments and Procedures for patients across all ages and health care concerns.
