Background
The Penny George Institute for Health and Healing, which is part of Abbott Northwestern Hospital and the Abbott Northwestern Hospital Foundation, seeks to become an innovative national model of integrative medicine that will:
1. Establish a comprehensive Integrative Medicine process and program that blends the best evidenced-based conventional therapies and healing therapies and optimizes whole-person patient-centered standards of care across all Centers of Excellence, both inpatient and outpatient.
2. Establish a living laboratory for the development of innovative proactive models of care that embrace the strengths of the whole person – mind, body and spirit – and the families and the communities in which they live; and that promote an understanding of the interdependent nature of healing by strengthening the sacred bonds between patients and their families and caregivers.

2003
The Penny George Institute for Health and Healing (IHH) at Abbott Northwestern Hospital was founded by the George Family Foundation and the Ted and Roberta Mann Foundation in 2003 to create a comprehensive Integrative Medicine program blending the best evidenced-based conventional therapies and healing therapies of other traditions. IHH optimizes whole-person, patient-centered standards of care, emphasizing healing as much as curing.
