holistic care
Complete patient attention
Holistic care is medical or therapeutic treatment that addresses the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—rather than focusing narrowly on symptoms or isolated conditions.
The approach considers emotional wellbeing, lifestyle, relationships, and beliefs alongside physical health: The hospice program emphasizes holistic care for patients and families.
Common in nursing, alternative medicine, and integrative health practices.
