Florida Atlantic is on a mission to train the next generation of medical professionals and ensure a better quality of life for everyone in our region. But we can’t do it without you.

$6 Million Grant to Expand Integrative Health Services at the Schmidt College of Medicine
Florida Atlantic University received a generous $6 million grant from The Marcus Foundation to expand holistic health and wellness services and programming through the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health at the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine.
Established in 2019 from a grant by the same foundation, the institute promotes treating the whole patient with a blend of traditional and alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, yoga, meditation, and nutrition counseling. The gift will help support additional services, including diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasounds, tai chi, a functional movement specialist, and a nutrition coach, as well as community outreach workshops.
As a leader in the field, the institute has advanced innovative therapies and treatments for pain management, sports injuries, and mental health. A recently piloted program found success addressing post-traumatic stress disorder in veterans and non-veterans.
