Welcome to ECaP

We are pleased and honored to share valuable information, insights and resources that can help you achieve a remarkable sense of wellness... maximizing the quality of your life even in the face of a serious health challenge.  Realizing that each person's journey is unique, multiple options are provided to enable you to choose the approach that's right for you.

ECaP is owned and operated by Meadville Medical Center's Mind-Body Wellness Center.  Our goal is to inspire and empower each person to become an active member of their healthcare team.  Over many years we've discovered that our integrative whole person approach has great potential for improving quality of life on many levels.

We've also been inspired by Bernie Siegel, MD and his upbeat philosophy on life.  When he began ECaP more than 3 decades ago, the medical community was skeptical to say the least.  Today integrative strategies are being used in hospital-based wellness centers throughout the world.  In essence, his approach has survived the test of time.  In fact, it's flourished as a symbol of hope for each person who travels their healing journey.

Prepare yourself to discover that which brings you closer to your true nature.  Take time to put back into your life what is missing.  Know that living life fully one moment at a time is a choice within your grasp.

And always remember to work closely with your physicians and healthcare team. 

With hopes for health, happiness and inner peace, welcome to our new site.
