CTVHCS is in the process of making a cultural change, shifting from
a disease-focused approach to a health and wellbeing approach, in
order to implement the Whole Health System of Care. This is a
VA-wide initiative to provide a comprehensive and systematic
approach to improve healthcare delivery at all stages of Veteran
care. This entails moving from an episodic, "siloed" approach to an
interdisciplinary, holistic approach, emphasizing self-care in the
larger context of well-being. All staff in this facility will be
part of this process, shifting the focus from the question, "What's
the matter with you?" to the question, "What matters to you, and
how can we help you live your best life?" This strategy also
involves integrating a full range of conventional approaches with
Complementary and Integrative Health (CIH) approaches in order to
optimize lifelong health and well-being, as defined by the Veteran,
rather than narrowly focusing on disease management.
