Integrative health plan blends science and holistic care in California
Dr Edward Taub, 43, launches Integrative Health Care Centers in Santa Ana and Irvine to offer a hybrid insurance driven program. Nearly 1,500 Orange County doctors and 13 hospitals join Taub's preferred provider organization. The centers train workers from union locals in meditation and imagined healing practices while promising lower costs. Taub argues the approach combines art with science to reform medicine amid rising U S health care costs.
