Our Mission, Vision, and Values

Founded in 2025, the Center for Comprehensive Healing is a collaboration between Mass General Brigham Hospital and the Shah Family Foundation, dedicated to advancing whole-person healing through research, medical education, and expanded access to care in underserved communities.

Mission

To evaluate, advance, and disseminate transformative practices that support an individual's innate ability to heal. Through collaborative research, continued medical education, and holistic, evidence-informed services in underserved communities, we strive to enable progress toward whole health.

Vision

To be a global leader in envisioning, modeling, and sharing whole-person health approaches that honor physical, behavioral, and spiritual well-being and create trusted relationships that empower people, practitioners, and systems to foster healing and resilience.

Values

While challenging, physical, emotional, and spiritual pain is a normal part of the human experience and may signal areas in our bodies or lives that need attention, change, or transformation.

We each have an innate capacity for healing and growth, including when faced with profound challenges.

Our thoughts and emotions, even the painful ones, carry important information and energy for transformation.

Love, Gratitude, Compassion, and Empathy are critical salves for the healing body, mind, and spirit.

We each hold incredible power to heal ourselves. This power of ONE is enabled by a support system of the COLLECTIVE WISDOM that holds this belief.
