Dr. Neeja Bakshi, Director of the Integrative Health Network
Dr. Neeja Bakshi is a General Internist, with primary inpatient practice at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, where she also serves as Divisional Director for General Internal Medicine (GIM). She also has a keen interest in integrative health, having opened Park Integrative Health, an outpatient clinic in Sherwood Park that houses both allopathic medical services as well as collaborative allied health services (acupuncture, mental health, nutrition and massage). Her specific interest is in education to the patient, other providers, and the community at large on how integrative health modalities can work in tandem with traditional western practices. Through IHN, she hopes to bring together healthcare professionals who share the interest of health as a value, so that the surrounding community can benefit from services, advocacy, and research.
