Washington, DC (Vocus) June 30, 2010

National Integrated Health Associates (NIHA) announced the expansion of the Washington D.C. integrative medical and dental center to include Holistic Primary Care. The expansion is in response to a recent patient survey, where 75% of respondents would prefer "a primary care provider with a holistic approach." The holistic primary care model offers traditional primary care but also incorporates the best of complementary and alternative therapies to help a patient achieve optimum wellness, not just freedom from disease.

The addition of Holistic Primary Care is in response to patient requests and a high level of interest from the recent patient survey. In addition, in a recent Washington Post article 'Having health insurance doesn't ensure it will be easy to find a doctor' by Ruth Samuelson, Ms. Samuelson highlights the difficulties in finding a primary care physician in the Washington D.C. area due to the shortage of primary care physicians. The addition of Holistic Primary Care to the services offered at NIHA will more fully serve patients in the Washington D.C. region with coordinated care in one comprehensive medical and dental center.

Tracy Freeman, M.D.and Cathlene Scoblionko, N.P. comprise the Holistic Primary Care team. They will partner with and guide patients to achieve their health goals for wellness, prevention of illness, chronic disease management, nutrition and lifestyle.
