VICTOR ACQUISTA MD, AUTHOR OF THE NEW BOOK “PATHWAYS TO HEALTH: AN INTEGRAL GUIDEBOOK” LAUNCHES NEW WEB-BASED HOLISTIC HEALTH COMMUNITY.

Silver City, NM...Victor Acquista MD, a physician for over 25 years, best known for combining conventional therapies with holistic, patient-centered health options, has launched a new web-based holistic health community, Pathways Integral Health and Wellness, in conjunction with the release of his new book, Pathways to Health--An Integral Guidebook.   

Dr. Acquista describes his book, which is the portal to the web community: “Beyond conventional medicine, beyond alternative, complementary and integrative, I lead the reader to a new place--Integral.  From the integral perspective, the reader understands their health in an expanded way--a truly holistic combination of mind, body, and spirit in dynamic equilibrium with the world around”. 

Dr. Acquista adds “When exploring the complex interplay of body, psyche, and spirit, one begins to understand why one feels the way they do, and what one needs to do to start feeling better. Through novel assessments, readers construct a unique map of their health, and use the map to chart a course to reach their health goals.”

When complete, the web community, Pathways Integral Health and Wellness, will have various resources to enable members to learn more about their health in a fun, educational, and socially engaging way, and to assist fellow travelers on their journies to better health. A unique aspect of the web community includes the opportunity for the user to map their health history and plan their future in map format.

“It is my goal to empower people with a much more comprehensive understanding of health i.e. an integral perspective on health” says Dr. Acquista. ”With a more complete understanding, people are better able to identify and chart a course to better health. I give them the tools to create a map of their health and to use this map to journey to their unique self-determined destination of better health”. .

A Brooklyn, NY native, Dr. Acquista, a graduate of Cornell University and The University of Vermont College of Medicine., completed a fellowship in Academic Internal Medicine at Brown University. He is a member of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the Integral Institute. He entered private practice and established the Center for Preventive Medicine in North Providence, RI, where he was teaching attending at Roger Williams Hospital. In Massachusetts, he served as Physician-In-Charge at Kaiser Permanente’s Springfield Health Center and as Chairman of Quality Improvement for Wing Memorial Hospital in Palmer, MA, as-well-as Medical Staff Vice President. After a nine-year tenure as  Medical Director of the Monson (MA) Developmental Center, a residential facility for adults with developmental disabilities, he relocated to New Mexico, where he serves as Chief Medical Officer at the Fort Bayard Medical Center. He is formally a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Nursing in Developmental Disabilities, and presently on the faculty at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. He is a founding member of the River Valley Market in Northampton, MA, and a new non-profit, The Collaborative for Community Health in Palmer, MA. 

He offers seminars, webinars, and educational programs in Integral Health at Pathways Integral Health and Wellness..
