Our
Founders
Drs. Baber and Rashida Ghauri, natives of the Delaware Valley, dedicated their early careers to conventional medicine, achieving board certification in Internal Medicine and specializing in Hospital Medicine. Their commitment to serving vulnerable populations led them to successfully care for the sickest patients in their community.

However, after decades of combined practice, they observed a troubling trend: seemingly healthy individuals, including colleagues, friends, and family, were developing the same severe conditions as their hospitalized patients. This observation prompted a critical reassessment of their own lifestyles and the underlying principles of their medical training. They pursued further education, ultimately earning board certification in Integrative Holistic Medicine.

Driven by their transformed understanding and a commitment to evidence-based practice, they redesigned their approach to medicine, prioritizing prevention and wellness through a root-cause analysis of a patient's health issues. The growing demand for these services highlighted a significant gap in the availability of qualified integrative practitioners. In response, they established Salus WellCare, a pioneering integrative holistic medical service fostering collaboration among diverse practitioners within the community.

In contrast to the conventional model, which often necessitates frequent patient visits for ongoing management, their integrative approach aims to empower patients to achieve lasting wellness, reducing the need for future medical intervention. They are now dedicated to the proactive treatment and prevention of disease, promoting comprehensive well-being. While many in the community recognize the benefits of this holistic philosophy, they acknowledge the need to raise awareness within the broader healthcare community. They advocate for a paradigm shift that recognizes pharmaceutical interventions as a last-resort element within a broader spectrum of therapeutic options in the pursuit of optimal health and longevity.
