Mass NonProfit News: Shah Family Foundation launches Center for Comprehensive Healing at Mass General Brigham with $10 million grant
The Shah Family Foundation has announced the establishment of a groundbreaking research center within the integrated Department of Psychiatry at Brigham & Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital. Funded by $10 million from the Foundation, the Center for Comprehensive Healing will advance innovative evidence-based interventions that support an individual’s innate ability to heal. With more than 60% of U.S. adults living with at least one chronic condition, such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancer, mental illness, and more, and 42% managing multiple debilitating conditions, chronic illness has become a defining challenge for modern healthcare. This new center aims to address these challenges through pioneering research, dissemination of findings to medical practitioners, and collaborations with community health centers to provide healing modalities in their communities.
