Kristen Bailey, a Cincinnati entrepreneur, never expected a hospital visit to change her life. After concerning neurological symptoms led her to UC Medical Center, Kristen learned she was living with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Kristen met with Mladen Golubic, MD, PhD, who is the Medical Director of the Osher Center for Integrative Health. Dr. Golubic remembers how overwhelmed she felt. “You can have highly successful people who are capable of doing incredible things,” he said. “But when it comes to prioritizing self-care, that can be the biggest challenge. What usually gets done is what has the highest priority.”

“Everybody is unique,” Dr. Golubic said. “Our job is to listen, to take time and to create a plan that fits that person’s life.”
