Today’s health care system is evolving in its approach to the health and care of a culturally and ethnically diverse client population. In the United States, the aging population, an increasing public awareness of major risk factors contributing to chronic illness, and the public’s growing desire for alternative health care options are just a few of the factors behind the expanding interest in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
