W

hen traditional medicine can offer
no more, where do terminally ill
patients turn? Some find relief and
comfort from alternative methods that include
massage, acupuncture, nutritional and herbal
supplements and relaxation techniques.
The University of Michigan had one of the
first programs in the country in complemen-
tary and integrative health, which addresses
these alternative methods.
Now, thanks to a $2 million gift from Mark
Kahn of Bloomfield Hills, the Gayle Halperin
Kahn Professorship in Integrative Medicine
will allow a professor to study and evaluate
alternative, complementary and holistic heal-
ing techniques.
The professorship is named after Kahn's late
wife, who died in February 2002 of brain can-
cer. She had found great relief in the alterna-
tive methods.
