Osher Center for Integrative Health at UVM

Whole Person Wheel of Health

Developed by Osher Affiliates to align core Integrative Health concepts with a national research effort, UVM's Whole Person Wheel of Health can be a powerful tool to support patients, clinicians, practitioners, educators, students, community leaders, and others.

UVM is implementing the Whole Person Health Index in a variety of settings to reach multiple populations, with the help of its redesigned Integrative Wheel of Health, now called the Whole Person Wheel of Health
