"The Ecomedicine Project is dedicated to showing that a new approach – an ecomedical approach – to the long-term care patient is possible, cost-effective and desirable.

The Ecomedicine Project applies the three principles of ecomedicine to the long-term care patient: thoughtful use of modern medical technology; alternative and complementary medicine; and an ecological approach to environment and patient. Its purpose is to demonstrate that such care is no more expensive than the usual long-term care, yet provides as good or better medical outcomes, while being more pleasant for patients and family, healthier for staff, and more satisfying for physicians."
