PERSONALIZED, PROACTIVE, PATIENT-DRIVEN CARE Whole Health empowers and equips people to take charge of their health and live their life to the fullest. The Dole VA has shifted from a health

care system focused primarily on treating disease to one rooted in forming continuous healing relationships and partnerships that support Veterans in achieving their greatest overall

well-being. DOLE VA WHOLE HEALTH PROGRAMS * YOGA The practice of yoga has been shown to have positive effects on Veterans in the priority areas of depression and lower back pain. *

RELAXATION TRAINING Relaxation techniques can decrease muscle tension, lower the blood pressure and slow heart and breath rates, among other benefits. * BIOFEEDBACK Biofeedback may be used

to improve health, performance, and the physiological changes that often occur in conjunction with changes to thoughts, emotions, and behavior. * SLEEP STUDIES Body activity is monitored

during sleep to identify disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. * PAIN MANAGEMENT Our focus has shifted from opioid-based pain management to evidence-informed,

safe, and effective non-pharmaceutical approaches. * TAI CHI This gentle Chinese art has favorable effects on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, and osteoarthritis. * MOVE
