"In 1990 [[Jeffrey Bland]] created the concept of Functional Medicine as a discipline that married progress in basic medical sciences with clinical medicine to address the growing problems associated with chronic disease. In 1991 Jeffrey and Susan Bland founded and funded The Institute for Functional Medicine with the mission to both educate and provide clinical support for the implementation of functional medicine across disciplines within the healthcare sector. The charter of The Institute for Functional Medicine was conceived by its founders as a systems-biology approach to the prevention and management of chronic disease utilizing appropriate tools including nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, environment, structural, cognitive, emotional, and pharmaceutical therapies to meet the individual needs of the patient.

"From 1991 to 2001 all financial and staffing support was provided to the Institute by Jeffrey and [[Susan Bland]] and their company, [[HealthComm International]], Inc." <ref>Institute for Functional Medicine [http://www.functionalmedicine.org/about/history-founders/ Founders], organizational web page, accessed February 26, 2013.</ref>
