Qigong Health Care can be a powerful component of Western models of healthcare systems which prioritize biopsychosocial whole person health and where prevention and wellness are primary aspects of care.

This publication describes the scientific research progress, issues, and challenges of integrating Qigong Health Care into Western medicine and healthcare.
