The Global Leader in Private Functional Medicine
Aureus Global Private Health carries forward a systems-based functional medicine heritage established in 1991, delivering precision diagnostics, personalized treatment, chronic-disease reversal and longevity care to clients worldwide — guided at every step by a dedicated personal health concierge.
About Aureus
In 1991, in the Pacific Northwest of the United States (the Seattle–Tacoma region), a group of clinicians and researchers founded a systems-biology-based, patient-centered functional medicine institute, establishing the clinical model and seven core characteristics that remain in use today.
Since 2001, the educational and clinical framework has been directly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). It has since partnered with world-renowned medical institutions including Cleveland Clinic and Weill Cornell Medicine. Building on this heritage, Aureus offers discreet, personalized, lifelong private care to families and corporate clients around the world.
Our Medical Century · Founding
Functional Medicine is no passing concept — it has a documented heritage stretching back more than a century. The milestones below are drawn from published medical history.
In the 19th century, the English physician Willoughby Wade delivered a clinical lecture published in The Lancet, using the term "Functional Medicine" for the first time. He urged his peers to recognize how functional disturbance precedes disease, calling for medicine that "blends science and art."
The biochemist Dr. Jeffrey Bland was invited by two-time Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling to serve as Director of Nutritional Research at the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine, laying the groundwork for a modern functional medicine model rooted in systems biology.
Following a small academic gathering in the Pacific Northwest, the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) was established, defining the seven core characteristics: patient-centered care, systems biology, the dynamic balance of gene–environment interaction, biochemical individuality, organ reserve and health span, positive vitality, and function before pathology.
Since 2001, its educational programs have been directly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), with content grounded in current science, evidence and clinical reasoning, and continuously evaluated for effectiveness.
Cleveland Clinic opened a functional medicine center led by Dr. Mark Hyman, becoming one of the first leading U.S. hospital systems to offer functional medicine comprehensively; collaborative programs followed with Weill Cornell Medicine and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Aureus Global Private Health transforms this three-century medical heritage into private care for clients worldwide — from in-depth assessment to global referrals, from chronic-disease management to longevity, with a dedicated health concierge responding around the clock.
