Overview

The primary goals of this initiative are to provide patients and staff with mind-body healing strategies and education, encouraging the incorporation of these strategies into patient care, and foster a caring and healing environment throughout NYU Medical Center. 

It is recognized that patients are more than the sum of their parts and that attention to all aspects of their being – mind, body and spirit – is essential in the healing process. 

The MindBody Education & Patient Care Program, which began in 2004, now serves more than 1300 patients a year through bedside patient visits and Prepare for Surgery workshops.
