January 6, 2025 In December 2024, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) celebrated the close of its 25th year with a special anniversary celebration and a remarkable program focused on the economics and imperatives of whole person health. As becomes alarmingly clearer with each passing year, the U.S. population is becoming less healthy, despite spending disproportionately more on health care compared to other industrialized nations. |  Jennifer Baumgartner, Ph.D.

Registration for this scientific workshop is free. The goals of the workshop are to 1) understand the range of perspectives on why, when, and how mind and body interventions should be adapted to improve fit for different contexts and 2) inform priorities of NCCIH and our partners about why, when, and how research that involves adaptations of evidence-based interventions can be impactful for improving health and well-being. |  Martina Schmidt, Ph.D.
