CAM SERVICES INCREASED IN HOSPITALS

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is increasing in hospitals

due to patient's demands as more Americans are finding relief through

alternative forms of health care. According to a report released by the

American Hospital Association, more than a quarter of surveyed hospitals

are offering CAM programs to the patients they serve. CAM can include

acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathy, chiropractic,

diet and lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, and massage therapy among

other types of non-Western treatments.
