VA’s Whole Health approach starts with a simple question: What matters most to you? From here, VA professionals work in partnership with Veterans to explore their life mission, values, and goals. This exploration allows Veterans to create a Personal Health Plan which they can use as a structure to work towards an answer to the question, What matters most to you? The System then supports the Veteran in carrying out that plan with peer-led groups, whole health clinical care, and the availability of complementary and integrative approaches like acupuncture, meditation, yoga, and tai chi

Fueled by the commitment to deliver and support care that is centered on each Veteran and empowers them to achieve and maintain the best all-around health and well-being possible, the Whole Health System is being rapidly adopted by many VA health care facilities throughout the country
