Stewart Strawbridge, a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and one of the three founding partners of Selkirk Partners, appreciates integrative medicine. Stewart and Liz Strawbridge are set to open Good Medicine, a nonprofit integrative medicine community space in Portland, at the former site of the Outliers Eatery. Integrative medicine takes a comprehensive approach to healthcare, dealing with all aspects of the patient's life, including physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, and social health. Rather than being viewed in isolation, conditions and ongoing issues receive consideration as part of the total picture of a person's health, which can inform needs in multiple contexts. Many scientific and medical disciplines play a role in such a comprehensive treatment approach. Integrative medicine does not replace conventional therapies. Rather, conventional therapies for both physical and mental health are used alongside approaches that manage the social situation and environment of the patient. This approach to medicine is heavily personalized, and relies strongly on self-exploration and self-development by both patients and practitioners. Patients must be active participants in their care in order for integrative wellness to succeed.
