"To the extent that one's medical condition and/or symptoms are caused or made worse by stress, we can help."Herbert Benson, MD
Director Emeritus, Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine
STRESS-RELATED ILLNESS
The Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine has a long history of improving the lives of thousands of people whose conditions are caused or made worse by stress. The programs offered at our Health and Wellness Center are based on published scientific and clinical research that shows the effectiveness of the relaxation response and a mind/body approach. Our programs are meant to complement whatever conventional medicine treatment a patient may be receiving.

The Health and Wellness Center offers the weekly medical programs listed below as well as individual therapy, and both are generally covered by most insurance providers.

Cardiac Wellness Program - to improve heart health of patients with hypertension, lipid disorders, diabetes, arrhythmias, and/or heart disease
