The Best of All Worlds at One Sky Medicine

Feb 08, 2001 -- In an age of HMOs and managed care, it's refreshing to find a clinic where care is personalized, progressive, and ... non-profit! One Sky Medicine, a.k.a. the Seattle Institute of Integrative Medicine, isn't just another doctor's office. Core providers include two family doctors and three naturopathic physicians, with specialists in acupuncture, botanical medicine, homeopathy, and a variety of other therapies. But the most innovative part of One Sky is the emphasis on patient education.

Next to the waiting room is an Education Resource Center, and down the hall a cluster of small exam rooms has been transformed into a large windowed classroom for classes in yoga, qigong, back care, natural menopause and much more.

With the growing popularity of alternative and complementary medicines, One Sky believes it is essential to bring together all the proven medical approaches--botanical and pharmaceutical, Eastern and Western--to develop an integrated approach to healing.

One Sky Medicine opened in August, 2000, in a beautifully refurbished school building at 2611 NE 125th Street in Lake City. Call (206) 363-5555 for information about health-care providers and class schedules. Major medical insurance is accepted, and new clients are welcome.
