Whole Health Tools
This “Tools” section includes multiple resources clinicians can use at the point of care. They go into additional details about topics that are covered more generally in the overviews. Tools can be a great time-saver; you can introduce a topic to someone during a visit and then they can get additional information from the handout and check back with the team if they have any questions. Tools are informed by evidence as much as possible, and they can be useful elements of a Personal Health Plan.
