Inpatient Services

While hospitalized, integrative services may be requested as part of a patient's care. A practitioner from the Penny George Institute for Health and Healing visits the patient to determine which services are appropriate.

If you are considering integrative medicine, contact your physician before your hospital stay or ask your attending nurse once at the hospital.

All complementary therapy services provided during the hospital stay are considered part of the patient's hospital care and are not billed for.

The George Institute’s inpatient services include:

  • holistic nursing consultations 
  • acupressure
  • acupuncture
  • guided imagery
  • healing touch
  • massage therapy
  • music therapy
  • reflexology
  • other relaxation and stress reduction therapies
