About company
About Us An Integrative Health Care Centre The Integrative Health Clinic (IHC) was founded in 2003 as one of the Areas of Strategic Development of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). In one convenient clinic, the IHC offers clients the benefits of multi-disciplinary health management by holistically tackling their health problems through the integrative use of conventional Western and Eastern health care modalities, complementary therapies, and health assessment services. Our diverse team of health professionals believes that chronic illnesses, as the result of many interacting physiological and lifestyle factors, may not be alleviated effectively if only one type of treatment modality is considered. Instead, we focus on the interrelationship between body, mind, spirit and society in healing, and work closely with our clients to formulate customised integrative health care plans for them. We believe that the key to good health is health protection and disease prevention, and we help our clients to improve their health through our holistic approach to both 'prevention' and 'cure'. A Research and Education Centre The IHC is also a nurse-led centre for health services, nursing research and education. We conduct nursing research to gain valuable information for clinical decision making and evidence for the effectiveness of integrating different healthcare modalities, which in turn help the development of better or new modalities and healthcare models. The IHC offers PolyU staff and students a state-of-the-art teaching and clinical practice venue. Under the supervision of our experienced teaching staff, students are able to practise holistic care and apply the learnt clinical skills. Vision & Mission Vision As a pre-eminent Integrative Health Clinic, we aspire to be a centre of excellence in the provision of evidence-based integrative therapeutic modalities that exceed national and international standards. Mission The IHC aims to provide client care with a holistic approach that integrates Eastern and Western nursing with complementary therapeutic strategies. It promotes the health of clients and where necessary manages symptoms and improves patient quality of life in the disease process, evaluating, further developing and applying Western nursing therapeutic strategies in light of the Chinese cultural context. It is committed to conducting research that aims to advance nursing knowledge and practice using an integrative approach, as well as aspiring to achieve international recognition in the field. Core Values Perfection We continuously evaluate and improve our programmes, services, systems, and policies. Research-based We integrate the best scientific evidence with our clinical expertise and our clients’ choices during the clinical decision-making process. We envisage that by delivering excellent services and solutions based on protocols, our clients' self-healing abilities will be unleashed. Innovation We provide innovative and creative solutions and swiftly adapt to new demands from clients, employees, and collaborators. We expect to stay at the forefront of all developments. Dynamism We strive to integrate Eastern and Western medicine and orthodox treatment modalities with alternative interventions, and modern technology with humanistic services. Our integrative services are based on our respect for natural laws and the harmony between man and the environment. We pride ourselves on our strong team culture and believe that an integrative team is more effective than the sum of its parts. Empowerment We believe that the major influences of health reside in the individual. We provide credible information and reliable advice to empower our clients to take charge of their own health and make a life-long commitment to maintaining optimal health.
