After 30 years in healthcare, Mara realized that health and wellness were more than simply an annual health check-up, but really about the whole of you – your emotions, your mental environment, your inspirations and passions and your physical health.

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, “In the future, Americans will be healthier, because our health-care system will treat us as whole persons. That is, the artificial separations between physical, behavioral and mental-health care will have disappeared.”Mara Benner, a healthcare professional with 30 years of experience working with patients, doctors and staff, has employed this concept in her company "Four Directions Wellness." She explains how a new paradigm shift in healthcare is coming on this edition of Late Night Health.Healthcare has been splintered into different areas. Benner believes that it is to the benefit of patients to treat the entire person with a combination of body, mind, emotion and spirit. She promotes an integrative approach to caring for people, merging these different areas into a single constructive method of healing.The discussion touches on the increasing Aging Population, increasing Chronic Illnesses and offers a focus on prevention rather than treating disease. Benner explains the disconnect and lack of engagement between patients and healthcare providers. The system is fragmented and lacking Whole Person Considerations.Another aspect of Four Directions Wellness is the addition of Eastern Healing Techniques to what is considered traditional Western Medicine. The program discusses how Western Medicine works well with Complimentary and Alternative Medicine. She talks about blending ancient techniques including Acupuncture/Chiropractic/Massage, Energy Healing Therapies/Reiki, Guided Imagery/Meditation, Nutrition/Natural Products, Qi Gong/Tai Chi/Yoga and Spiritual Care with modern medicine.The integrative aspect of Four Directions Wellness is the cornerstone of the company. According to the Duke University Integrative Medicine Website “Integrative medicine is an approach to care that puts the patient at the center and addresses the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect a person’s health. Employing a personalized strategy that considers the patient’s unique conditions, needs and circumstances, it uses the most appropriate interventions from an array of scientific disciplines to heal illness and disease and help people regain and maintain optimum health.” Four Directions is associated with the GW Center for Integrative Medicine. air date: 5/6/16
