On April 4th, 2019, Pure Integrative Pharmacy enjoyed the official grand opening of their Fort Langley location. Under their motto, Let us be your hub of health, Pure’s mission is to challenge the status quo of community pharmacy by integrating the conventional pharmacy model with evidence-based complementary medicines and cutting-edge products and services to improve the health and well-being of our clients; and to offer integrity and a personalized pharmacy experience where we listen to, inspire, and empower our clients to take control of their health and enjoy greater vitality, safely and sustainably. They endeavour to bridge the gap between conventional and complementary medicine and become an integrative and accessible hub of health for their clients. Concurrently, Integrated Health Clinic hosted an open house that allowed us to showcase our approach to integrative medicine.

ABSTRACT Patient use of integrative oncology (the inclusion of nonconventional treatments alongside the conventional standard of care) continues to grow, with some studies showing its use in cancer patients to be as high as 91%. The Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians (oncanp) was formed in 2004 as a specialty association for naturopathic physicians providing integrative cancer care (nd oncs). The poc document presented here provides clear guidelines for nd oncs on how best to deliver patient-centred care in the areas of assessment, treatment planning, care management, interprofessional collaboration, and survi-vorship care. This naturopathic oncology poc document can be a valuable resource for nd oncs and other oncology care providers to further an understanding of the naturopathic and integrative oncology care model and its potential for collaboration.

This treatment is for anyone with concerns regarding fine lines and wrinkles, scarring and acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, pore size, photo damage, or anyone looking to improve skin tone and texture. The treatment works by creating controlled damage in the superficial layers of the skin to initiate the body’s natural healing cascade. Because the treatment works with the bodies own healing capabilities, it makes an excellent treatment for anyone who desires natural, subtle, gradual changes, including men. Microneedling can be used on its own, or augmented with platelet rich plasma (PRP) for an even more intensive treatment, seehttps://www.integratedhealthclinic.com/platelet-rich-plasma/. To learn more about microneedling and to decide if this treatment is right for you, come for a consult with one of our medical aesthetics providers, Dr. Alanna Rinas, ND or Dr. Karen McGee, ND.
