Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center is pondering adding more alternative medicine (including massage therapy) to its repertoire.

Thomas Arcury, an anthropologist who's worked in Wake Forest Baptist's Department of Family and Community Medicine for six years, has helped put together a network of alternative-medicine practitioners in the area -- acupuncturists, massage therapists, healing-touch practitioners and others -- to work with Wake Forest Baptist faculty members.

The idea is to get the two groups of practitioners, who sometimes may be treating the same patients, to talk to each other, establishing communication and trust.

"These are all people who are very concerned about patients," Arcury said.
