The work of Dr. Georgianna Donadio has touched the lives of millions. For over 40 years, she has been educating the healthcare community, as well as her patients, students and the public about how the 5 Aspects of Whole Health® — the physical, emotional, nutritional, environmental and spiritual aspects of our lives — can produce illness or wellness.

Dr. Donadio’s pioneering work began in 1976 when she established the National Institute of Whole Health in Boston, MA. In the process, Georgianna developed Whole Health Education®, a hospital-tested, relationship-centered, patient health education model.
Today, NIWH is a accredited provider of evidence-based, Whole Health
Education ® and Whole Person Care credentialing and continuing education
programs for medical, allied health and education providers.
A longtime proponent of the important role nurses play in healthcare, she is one of only six Florence Nightingale scholars in the U.S. She serves on the Board of Advisors of the national Health Care Education Association, and is an Associate Scholar of the Global Holistic Nurses Association. She is a
sought-after MNA award-winning Nurse Advocate and the recipient of the
“Best of Boston Award” for Outstanding Chiropractic Practice.
Georgianna is also working to bring Whole Health Education to military
spouses through the Department of Defense MyCAA education program for
over 3 million military families, world wide as NIWH is an approved
education provider for the Department of Defense My CAA programs. In
addition, she is a popular and compelling speaker, author and media
presenter whose expertise has been showcased through hundreds of
speaking engagements, articles and interviews for TV, radio, print and
online media.
Dr. Donadio has been the subject of over 500 TV, radio, magazine, and
print articles and interviews.
