March 15, 2018, Washington DC: The new Congressional Integrative Health & Wellness Caucus held their Inaugural Meeting. Opening remarks were presented by bipartisan Colorado Representatives: Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO-2nd) and Congressman Mike Coffman (R-CO-6th). The introduction to the event was presented by IHPC Board of Directors Chair Len Wisneski, MD.

In the midst of the largest American health crisis in recent history, the new Integrative Health & Wellness Caucus will provide legislators and other policy and regulatory officials the opportunity to understand how shifting the focus in healthcare from reaction to prevention, health creation and promotion can result in considerable cost savings while improving healthy outcomes for Americans.

The Integrative Health & Wellness (IHW) Caucus will serve as a non-partisan educational forum for legislators to receive the latest information from experts on best practices and new research, as well as identify legislative and administrative opportunities across federally funded health programs to bring solutions to the American people.
