MD Anderson's Integrative Medicine Center, formerly known as Place ...
of wellness, has moved back to its renovated space and reopened on Floor
1 of the Main Building, near The Aquarium.
Before the
renovation, the center had only three treatment rooms. Now, there are
six treatment rooms built for versatility of the different treatment
options. Each room has wood laminate floors and beds with wheels, making
the rooms easy to rearrange to serve multiple purposes.
"I'm
very excited with our newly renovated clinic," says Richard Lee, M.D.,
medical director of the Integrative Medicine Center. "We can now better
meet the needs of patients in a way that enhances the care of every
person we touch -- physically, mind-spiritually and socially."
The
addition of a vital signs room allows the center's workflow to be
streamlined, enhancing patient care and the center's efficiency. The
renovation includes a workroom for faculty and clinical employees that
features six new workstations, updated fixtures and new furniture.
"Before
the renovation, we became very creative in the art of workspace
sharing," says Andrea Warren, program manager, Integrative Medicine
Center. "In a space big enough for one person, you would often find two
or more. Now, we have room and resources for all of our staff."
The Integrative Medicine Center -- Main Building is open 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. It features:
- The Integrative Medicine Consultation Service
- Acupuncture
- Oncology massage therapy
- Music therapy
- Meditation
- Clinical nutrition support
