James LaCombe
What if health care focused not only on disease, but on the interconnected systems that shape resilience, recovery and well-being? This lecture will explore the rapidly evolving science of wholeperson health, integrating biological, behavioral, social and environmental dimensions into a cohesive framework for clinical care. Drawing on translational research from UC San Diego’s REACH Center, Dr. Bradley will discuss multi-system assessment tools, integrative treatment strategies, and emerging evidence that bridges conventional and complementary medicine. This presentation offers a forward-looking view of how whole-person models can improve outcomes and redefine the practice of medicine.
