The Health Medicine Institute (HMI) is a comprehensive center for health and healing. Medical director, Len Saputo, MD, and executive director, Kay Sandberg, MA, guide the integration of the best strategies from mainstream, complementary, and alternative medicine in all HMI healthcare. This highly collaborative approach is based on the four principles of Health Medicine—preventive, person-centered, integrative, and holistic care. Our 14 practitioners offer “high-tech” modern medicine in tandem with the “high touch” of complementary therapies.
While they treat most healthcare conditions, they offer six specialized programs:
- pain management
- the treatment of complex chronic conditions
- women’s health services
- thermal imaging for breast cancer risk assessment
- integrative sports medicine
- wellness programs
At the HMI, they are accustomed to helping people with health problems that have been considered unsolvable, sometimes for decades. In part, our success results from our use of state-of-the-art technologies such as infrared light therapy. For example, more than 95% of their patients with long-standing back or neck pain experience major improvement. They also see exceptional results in the treatment of conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathies, and sports injuries.
They are the only physician-supervised facility in California that provides both infrared light therapy and infrared imaging for the treatment of pain disorders. In many cases, severe pain vanishes in just a few treatments, without the need for medication or surgery.
Because our practitioners work collaboratively, treatment often succeeds beyond the limits of what is possible through any single discipline. Many of their patients have experienced impressive results in the treatment or management of disorders such as cancer, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, digestive conditions, fatigue, headaches, anxiety, and depression. Their approach pairs Western medicine with therapies such as Chinese medicine or bodywork, depending on the needs of the individual.
Another critically important ingredient in their success is the compassion of our practitioners and staff. They make every effort to provide the finest quality care possible and to create a warm sense of community. Many of their patients have commented positively about the HMI’s healing atmosphere and the personalized care they receive.
They consider the greatest reward is to see their patients get better and resume healthy lives.
