The Cady Wellness Institute is a not-for-profit scientific and medical institute physically located at 4727 Rosebud Lane in the Interstate Office Park in Newburgh, Indiana - an exurb of Evansville, Indiana. It opens on July 1, 2005, in Phase I.
The Cady Wellness Institute is modeled after Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, with the three core Mayo initiatives: patient care, research, and teaching. In addition, a fourth initiative has been added: 10% of all monies will be earmarked and donated to charities. A board will be solicited and seated to oversee this distribution. Reports of monies disbursed will be available to all patients and interested parties. This distribution will begin with 1% of all monies at the end of the first month of operation and will increase to 10% at the end of month ten, and will remain at that level in perpetuity.
The Cady Wellness Institute is a place where miracles happen. Because of the wonderful training I was blessed to receive, the ongoing continuing medical education I committed to accomplish, intellectual humility to the peer-reviewed medical literature and more experienced colleagues, and loving, wonderful synergistic and healing relationships with my professional and support staff, my colleagues and I have already seen miracles happen in the lives of our patients. It is my intention that this will continue, magnify, and intensify, and that through our combined efforts we will be able to serve, help and heal many more lives.
The Cady Wellness Institute is not only committed to raising the psychiatrically and medically moribund to physical and mental health and wellness, but committed to advancing the physical, cognitive, and spiritual states of willing and searching children, men, and women who are not living lives of optimal performance but who desire to achieve them.
Our therapeutic and intellectual underpinnings are the following:
- rigorous intellectual honest and familiarity
with state-of-the-art medical, psychiatric, and holistic
practices and interventions;
- reverence for our patients, our patients' life stories, and
a celebration of the successes they have achieved thus far;
- an unquestioned acceptance and universally positive regard
for our patients, who are at our Institute because they are
searching and seeking;
- delightful, synergistic, and and intellectually
vigorous relationships with all of our professional colleagues
on staff as well as our colleagues on staff as well as our
colleagues in practice and research outside of the Institute.
We will delight in each other's knowledge base and insights, as
well as the resultant and synergistic therapeutic possibilities
this collaboration offers all of our patients.
We will use all known modalities of interventions, grounded in the peer-reviewed medical literature, including, but not limited to the following:
- lifestyle review and interventions - both of the patient,
and, if indicated, family systems;
- establishment of healthy and nutritious dietary protocols;
- use of exercise for cardiovascular and aerobic fitness and
maintenance of muscle tone, as indicated;
- meditation and contemplation congruent with the
patient-client's own spiritual/religious paradigm;
- advanced laboratory analysis to evaluate our patients'
underlying medical, nutritional, and endocrinologic status, as
indicated, and, further, to evaluate our patients at a
"functional" level - that is, at the foundation of their health.
These latter evaluations will be accomplished through
collaboration with modern, state-of-the-art medical
laboratories. All of these evaluations will be founded on
universally accepted, intellectually sound, and validated
concepts of biochemistry, physiology, immunology,
neurophysiology, and psychoneuroimmunology;
- use of vitamins and nutraceuticals, if indicated;
- use of hormonal optimization, if indicated;
- synergistic use, if indicated, of aggressive, precise, and
rational selection of traditional medical and psychiatric
medications with emphasis on minimizing and eliminating all side
effect humanly possible by precise utilization;
- use of these medications for the shortest amount of time
possible, but as long as necessary and appropriate;
- maximum economy to protect and honor the patient's
resources; we emphasize the rapid, expeditious, efficient, and
intellectually and therapeuticallly aggressive approach to
effect positive and healing changes in our patients' lives as
rapidly as possible, within the confines of care and
deliberateness to avoid side effects of any medications,
nutraceutical, or any other intervention. Out of pocket
costs will be minimized whenever possible. Samples will be
given, when available. Limited prescriptions will be
given, if their effect is uncertain, to avoid wasting of
patients' monies. All laboratory assessments ordered will
be for specific purposes and will be done in the most
cost-effective manner possible. The emphasis will be on
getting the answers quickly, getting the treatments started
quickly, and then saving money on the "back end" with increased
mental and/or physical health, improved performance, radically
lessened need for physician visits, and relegation of the
Institute to a place where our valued patients and client go
several times a year for mental and physical health maintenance
rather than struggling to find the answers.
For our patients, the Cady Wellness Institute will be a place
where our patients and clients feel at home, cared for, secure and
valued as unique and special individuals. We do not
discriminate against any race, political persuasion, or religious
or sexual preference. We consider all of our patients and
clients our human brothers and sisters, and we desire mutually
respectful working and therapeutic relationships with all.
It is our belief and concept that when people are treated with
kindness, warmth, and respect, that those feelings will be
reciprocated. We endeavor to do that to the maximum extent
possible.
For society at large, and those who are not our patients or
clients, the Cady Wellness Institute will endeavor to be a source
of ongoing educational material and inspiration through
publishing, lecture activities, and internet presence.
For our staff, the Cady Wellness Institute will be a place
where my professional colleagues, support staff, and I collaborate
in a playful spirit of fun, with humor and liveliness in the
workplace, but with seriousness and devotion toward the
therapeutic work we are privileged to share with our patients.
We maintain the deepest mutual respect and admiration for each
other, and delight in collaboration and synergism with each other
in the service of our patients and clients.
It is to these principles that we have dedicated our
professional lives. |
