Such advances can only happen when we, as medical providers, open our minds to unknown possibilities. </small></font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><small>Over the past several years, patients across the country have increasingly sought treatment from alternative medical providers. In fact, in 1997 there were more visits to alternative therapists than there were to primary care physicians in the United States. </small></font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><small>To further validate this trend, the National Institutes of Health has opened an <a href="http://nccam.nih.gov">Office of Alternative Medicine</a>. And, some of the nations best medical schools are offering courses and conducting research in alternative therapies to begin the process of integrating modern medicine with these other techniques.</small></font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><small>The demand from our patients, coupled with the medical industrys response on a national level, has led us to develop an integrative medicine center. We feel, as do many national authorities, that these treatments offer benefits to patients when combined with modern Western medicine.</small></font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><small>The Alliance Institute for Integrative Medicine (AIIM) offers treatments and therapies unique to Greater Cincinnati. In fact, <i><b>AIIM was recently named one of the top six holistic centers in the country by a <a href="IntegrativeMed/about_article.html">national health care magazine</a></b></i>. This speaks to the reputation and experience of our medical directors, <a href="IntegrativeMed/about_directors.html">Drs. Steve and Sandi Amoils</a>. The Drs. Amoils have developed an advisory board of internationally recognized leaders in the fields of integrative therapies who will be consulting and teaching at AIIM. </small></font><a name="vision"></a></p> <font face="Arial"><b><p><font color="#800040"><small>Our Vision and Mission</small></font></b></p> <p><small>We feel that wellness is more than just a state of well being. It involves not only a vibrant physical health, but also encompasses emotional stability, clear thinking, and the ability to create, love, embrace change, exercise intuition and experience a continuing sense of spirituality. At the Institute, our vision is to move the community toward this all-encompassing definition of wellness, one individual at a time.</small></p> <p><small>Our mission is to incorporate alternative therapies into traditional Western medicine practices, evaluate their effectiveness and provide data and feedback to the medical community and the community at-large.</small></p> <b><p><font color="#800040"><small>Our Philosophy</small></font></b></p> <p><small>AIIM was developed as a collective vision of Drs. Steve and Sandi Amoils, other physicians and the Health Alliance. The integrative medical system we have created combines the very best of current technology with hands-on techniques, compassion, emotional self-help and spirituality.</small></p> <p><small>AIIM provides patients with the tools they need to take control of their health care. By recognizing the needs of all parts of the body--physical, emotional, and spiritual--individuals can realize their health potential and feel empowered to reach it. All the while, patients primary care physicians are kept apprised of their treatments and outcomes to maintain continuity of care for the patient.</small></p> <i><p><small>AIIM is not a diagnostic center</i>. We do not diagnose diseases or conditions, but provide therapy through a variety of alternative modalities.</small><small>.

It is believed combining the therapeutic effect of all five senses working in concert brings ones awareness to the source of thought and feeling in the heart. </small></p> <p><small>To reinforce this concept, every component of the Alliance Institute for Integrative Medicine has been carefully chosen for its therapeutic effect on the senses. A Lazure mural using organic paint with a beeswax seal and full spectrum lighting will provide optimum visual stimulation throughout the Institute. Soothing scents and sounds will float throughout the building. Fresh fruit and herbal teas will provide a natural taste experience. This environment provides the ideal backdrop for the soothing touch of our therapists. </small></font></p> <font face="Arial"><b><p><font color="#800040"><small>The Butler Information Center</small></font></b></p> <p><small>Those wishing to learn more about alternative therapies can visit the Butler Information Center at the Institute for a wide array of information.
