The Mind Body Wellness Institute houses all the psychological and medical outcome development and research. Through the Institute, Drs. Roper and Clifford have developed a comprehensive and inclusive Multimodal Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to assess and treat behavioral and emotional suffering associated with medical and psychiatric co-morbidities. Numerous psychologist and mental health care providers have been trained and utilize the Mind Body Wellness model which is available internationally through the Psychological Assessment Resources (PAR).

Dr. Cipher, a leading researcher and nationally recognized biostatistician in geropsychological pain management and quality of life in long-term care, is an integral part in the Institute's ongoing investigation and outcome research. The Institute has published in international and national peer review journals and the researcher/clinicians present regularly at national and international professional conferences. Drs.
