Mercy Family Health releases guide on selecting family doctors who practice integrative medicine. The resource helps families identify physicians combining conventional care with evidence-based complementary therapies, addressing growing patient interest in holistic healthcare approaches.
-- Mercy Family Health has released a guide titled 'How to Find the Best Family Doctor Near You. Comparing Your Options,' designed to help individuals and families navigate the growing field of integrative medicine when selecting a primary care provider. As complementary health strategies gain traction—with research from the University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging showing that approximately 66% of adults aged 50 to 80 have used at least one integrative approach—this resource addresses the documented need for practical guidance in identifying physicians who combine conventional care with evidence-based complementary therapies.

Integrative medicine focuses on the whole person by considering physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs while combining conventional healthcare with complementary therapies. Patient enthusiasm for this approach is substantial: according to the National Poll on Healthy Aging conducted by the University of Michigan, 87% of adults aged 50-80 would be comfortable discussing integrative strategies with a healthcare provider. Satisfaction scores reflect this comfort, with one study reporting an overall experience score of 4.19 out of 5 among 327 participants in integrative healthcare settings, while another found high overall satisfaction among 83 randomly selected patients receiving integrative primary care.
The appeal of this model extends beyond patient preference to measurable health outcomes. Research has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing stress, enhancing immune response, and lowering blood pressure. Holistic family medicine, which integrates nutrition, lifestyle changes, and alternative therapies, aims to prevent disease and promote wellness by addressing root causes rather than symptoms alone, leading to improved emotional stability, better sleep quality, and enhanced overall quality of life.
Mercy Family Health, led by Stanley Lang, M.D. and Sheri Lang, C.R.N.P., has provided whole person health to families since 1981, maintaining over four decades of commitment to wholistic strategies that integrate body, mind, and spirit. The practice offers family care spanning from newborn to elderly patients, with specialized services including reproductive health and advanced natural care options. This extensive experience in delivering integrative care positions the organization as a credible authority for releasing guidance on selecting practitioners who share this philosophy.
The newly released guide offers general, broadly applicable advice for families nationwide who are evaluating practitioners and comparing options when searching for a family doctor. It educates readers on identifying doctors who practice integrative medicine and provides a framework for assessing whether a potential provider aligns with their holistic health values. By addressing the challenge many families face in finding and evaluating physicians committed to whole-person care, the guide empowers informed decision-making during what can be a complex selection process.
Families and individuals interested in integrative healthcare can access the guide on the Mercy Family Health website. The resource is free and available to all readers, regardless of whether they become patients of the practice, supporting reader autonomy in healthcare decision-making. Choosing a doctor aligned with one's health philosophy represents a foundational step toward achieving wellness.
