Integrative Medicine is Just Good Medicine. Everyone Deserves Access to Good Medicine.
Mission
Integrative practitioners are the heroes of healthcare. For too long, integrative practitioners have had to build their practices outside of the healthcare system, limited to out-of-pocket models and a small number of patients. Not because integrative medicine doesn’t work – but because no one has taken on the mission to build successful practice models that serve patients and practitioners working together.
We are changing that.
For integrative medicine to reach it’s potential, it needs to reach millions, not the elite few.
Lace Health enables practitioners to build successful hybrid practices that make integrative medicine accessible while delivering integrative care in the way that that it was designed to be delivered — with the patient and practitioner relationship at the heart. This will allow practitioners to finally get reimbursement rates and the acknowledgement that they deserve.

" I started Lace Health after nearly 20 years of struggling to navigate the conventional medical system and find the right combination of conventional and complementary therapies to deal with my devastating health issue. No one told me I could recover, but I did. Healthcare is an extremely painful experience for both practitioners and patients. I don't want anyone to go through what I did. Lace Health is our answer."
