Integrative Health Institute, Mount Royal University

In January 2005, the Faculty of Health and Community Studies at Mount Royal incorporated the resources and community networks of the Calgary Integrative Health Institute into the organization of the college and developed the Integrative Health Institute at Mount Royal (IHI at MR). Through a generous donation from EnCana Corporation (the former Alberta Energy Company) and financial and human resource contribution of Mount Royal, IHI at MR was formed.
