Whole health puts you at the center of care, rather than your illnesses or conditions. We work with you to develop a personalized health plan based on your values, needs, and goals. Whole

Health is VA’s cutting-edge approach to care that supports your health and well-being. Whole Health centers around WHAT MATTERS TO YOU, not what is the matter with you. This means your

health team will get to know you as a person, before working with you to develop a personalized health plan based on your values, needs, and goals. Find out how you can #LiveWholeHealth from

home through VA’s ongoing self-care blog series. This series highlights Whole Health resources—such as video sessions for yoga or meditation—that you can follow along at home to live

healthier and happier. HOW TO GET STARTED Start a conversation with your health team about your needs and priorities, or learn about Whole Health practices from other Veterans through the

Taking Charge of My Life and Health course or our Whole Health Passport Group (ask your care team for a Whole Health consult to enroll). VA staff and Veteran peers will support and guide you

through the Personal Health Inventory self-assessment and help you create your personal health plan. What matters to you will shape your plan and drive your choice of Well-being Programs 

and clinical treatments. The road to better health and well-being starts here, with you. Our whole health approach empowers and equips you to take charge of your health, well-being, and

quality of life. Whole health goes beyond your illnesses, injuries, or disabilities, and focuses instead on your values, goals, and overall health. It includes self-care and complementary

therapies along with conventional medical care. Our whole health program includes: * Acupuncture to help you manage pain without drugs * Meditation and mindfulness training * Yoga, tai chi,

and qi gong classes * Massage and manual therapy Learn more about VA whole health Whole Health offerings calendar For information on our Clinical Integrative Health services please visit
