Beyond the Diagnosis: A Journey of Life-Changing Illness with Maxine Barish-Wreden, M.D.

Champions of integrative medicine, Drs. Don Wreden and Max Barish-Wreden, were devastated to learn of Don’s cancer diagnosis. Join us to hear how their exploration of illness and healing unfolded, a journey filled with valuable lessons about denial, resentment, resilience, and connection. In her presentation, Dr. Max Barish- Wreden offers meaningful guidance and practical tools for individuals navigating illness, and for caregivers supporting others on their path toward wellness. What you’ll learn: • How to blend traditional medical care with holistic evidence-based approaches like mindfulness, nutrition, and spirituality. • Gain insights into the neuroscience of healing, from grief to acceptance. • Practical strategies for caregivers. • How to find resilience and gratitude, transforming emotional pain into pathways of peace and self-discovery. During this event, we’ll honor Dr. Maxine Barish-Wreden and the late Dr. Don Wreden with the Institute for Health and Healing’s 2025 Deep Medicine Award. This prestigious award, created in honor of IHH Founder, Dr. William B. Stewart, is given to a health leader who exemplifies the mission of IHH: Healing People, Transforming Healthcare.
