The second of our three mission priorities is public awareness and health promotion.
Holistic Health Research is a trusted source of public information about complementary health care research. Our role is to:
- Create and support innovative campaigns and events to educate the public on the safe and effective use of complementary and alternative health care
- Provide information about the results of research initiatives
- Link you to credible sources for additional information including health organization websites, research databases, publications and more through our website. Visit our "Resources and Links" section for more information.
