About The Human Health Initiative
The Human Health Initiative is the evolution of Dr. Shawn W. Palmer’s 24-year career as the founder of THE HIP & KNEE CENTER at OrthoIllinois. As a physician he is dedicated to treating the whole patient. Recognizing that patients often suffer from symptoms like poor sleep, weight gain, mental fog, and loss of vitality, Dr. Palmer founded the initiative to address these broader health issues.
Our mission is to positively impact lives through hormone-balancing and health-focused choices. Our evidence-based approach to hormone therapy, including bioidentical hormone balancing, helps achieve these goals. While aging is inevitable, we believe the rate of age-related degeneration can be influenced by our choices, lifestyle, and therapies.
We do much more than implant hormone pellets or write prescriptions. By utilizing an integrated and functional approach to healing, we get to the root of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. Our goal is to optimize your health in collaboration with your primary care physician, potentially eliminating the need for certain prescription medicines and maintaining a balanced life.
At the Human Health Initiative, we are committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care that transforms lives and promotes lasting well-being.
