Dear Friends,
The Board of Directors of Miraglo Foundation at Pacific Pearl La Jolla, California, would like to extend our gratitude for your continued support. Miraglo Foundation is dedicated to the advancement of Integrative and Holistic Medicine through education and research and in providing healthcare, and education to underserved communities, both here at home, and around the globe.
2023 brings continued challenges as the economy faces the impact of inflation and global unrest, climate change and increasing natural disasters. Our planet earth is in crisis and the disasters-natural and man-made- have exposed health disparities, increased food scarcity, and created unprecedented challenges to people worldwide. To complicate matters, healthcare workers are leaving the field in record numbers seeking respite from the increasing demands and burnout that are threatening their own health.
At Miraglo Foundation, our mission is to assist communities locally in the San Diego area and globally with urgently needed healthcare and support. The need is palpable with the Ukraine war continuing into its third winter and the Middle East crisis which has challenged the entire world. More and more people are desperate for healing, and we are committed to educating healthcare professionals about integrative approaches for patient care and self-care.
The Miraglo Foundation’s vison of healing people and transforming lives through Integrative Medicine education, research and serving under-served locally and globally has enabled us to promote Integrative Health and Medicine education worldwide. Miraglo Foundation and the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM) pledged to usher in a new generation of skilled providers who are trained in delivering holistic care.
Pacific Pearl La Jolla or “The Pearl” has become a hub of Integrative Health, Healing and Education. The Pearl is the home to Miraglo Foundation, Guarneri Integrative Health Inc. (GIH), and the Taylor Center for Integrative Medicine Education and Research. Under Dr. Guarneri’s preceptorship, MD’s, AIHM fellows, 4th year medical students, and physician assistant students rotate at the Pearl as part of their formal education.
Thanks to YOUR generous gifts! We have been able to transform many lives in San Diego, nationally and internationally. Please take a moment to read about the blessings your donations have provided.
