Thomas Jefferson University’s Marcus Institute of Integrative Health – Jefferson Health, supported by the visionary philanthropy of Bernard Marcus, co-founder of Home Depot, and under preeminent leadership by Daniel A. Monti, MD and Anthony J. Bazzan, MD, made American history in 2019 by founding the nation’s first independent department of Integrative Medicine within a medical school, standing equal beside long-established traditionally independent departments such as pediatrics, surgery, neurology, psychiatry and oncology.

Doctors Monti and Bazzan now offer in Tapestry of Health: Weaving Wellness into Your Life Through the New Science of Integrative Medicine a step-by-step plan for this next generation of medicine through evidence-based restorative treatments, nutritional science and healthy lifestyle practices. Artfully integrating cutting-edge technologies—fMRI brain imaging, bone density diagnostics and DNA sequencing—with time-honored approaches—loving relationships, walks in the woods and plant-based meals, invite you to enjoy a fuller, healthier life in service to Plato’s holistic understanding that “the part can never be well unless the whole is well.”
