THE VISIONARY AWARD
THE VISIONARY AWARD Visionaries have great imaginations and wisdom. They lead us where we may not otherwise be able to go – to places in the future that are new and original. They see clearly even when we are unable to do so. Our visionary recipients have demonstrated these qualities for the movement of integrative health and medicine. Like all our recipients, their visionary style embodies the AIHM vision of pluralism, collaboration and love. The recipients are visionaries who have clearly laid out a vision of what the future can look like, promoting the creation of health and the delivery of evidence-informed, comprehensive, affordable, sustainable person-centered care.
