Healing hospitals should be the focus of America’s healthcare system instead they are on the decline. The typical hospital focuses on getting the patients in and getting them out as quickly as possible to save money and make a profit. They do not focus on providing a healing environment that is patient and family friendly, unlike healing hospitals. The lack of a friendly, serine environment may cause stress on the patients and families that feel they or their loved one still needs medical attention and healing. Having a healing hospital that helps patients heal physically and spiritually is key to improving the patients well being. Using a healing hospital as opposed to a typical hospital would be a benefit to the patients and their families since they focus not only on the patients spiritual healing, but their physical healing as well. In this paper I will discuss, the component of healing hospitals and their relationship to spirituality, the challenges of creating a healing environment, and a biblical passage that supports the concept of a healing hospital.…
This article informs the reader that healthcare professionals are more involved than ever with the treatment of patients. This places a lot of responsibility on the provider and therefore they should be armed with spiritual tools if they are going to effectively and holistically help with spiritual needs of a patient.

As church sponsored hospitals become less and less, the big business aspect of profitability is now the central focus of health care…

1. How would you describe your role in your current position and your educational preparation for this role? “Being a Masters trained nurse allows me to obtain advanced level positions within the field of study I love. I have leadership and educational nursing experience gained through the MSN program coupled with my personal nursing experience within hospice. It is my job to hire nurses and ensure they are properly trained and set for success within our company. I also have the skills and knowledge needed to assess potential patients and determine whether they meet criteria. Once we’ve admitted the patient, I am responsible for placing that patient on a team that I fell best fits that patients individual needs.” 2. How would you explain the unique contributions you as a nurse bring to an interdisciplinary team?“I believe we all have something special to bring to the team, but if I were to focus on my skills and attributes, I would say I have the training and knowledge needed to assess and treat the clients we serve. Being the clinical director for this office allows me the ability to hire and supervise nursing staff that I feel have the skills needed to ensure our patients and families are cared for in the best possible manner.”…
When I think of the term spirituality, a sense of a personalized, intimate and an innermost interconnection within me and with a higher power comes into mind. Spirituality, in my view, encompasses a connection, intertwined with hope, faith and love, that enables me to express my feelings and thoughts of my day to day experiences to God, whom I believe is my higher power. This personal channel allows me to communicate and look for God’s intended and planned purpose for me, and reflect on why certain things happen, its purpose and what the possible meaning behind that event might be. From my perspective, culture, is an adopted phenomenon in which an individual, since early childhood, has learned and acquired from parents, family, and friends.…
The Healing Hospital paradigm does not only bring love and care back to health care but radical loving care to the bedside. This concept, although seemingly progressive, borrows and puts into action theories of such great theorist as Jean Watson that believe in treating the mind, body, and soul (Watson, 2009). The average hospital mission statement is filled with promises of caring compassionate health care, but as with society today, they are mostly talk and no action. The Healing Hospital brings the talk into action bringing the radical care from the management down, believing that each person has a calling not a job that simply ends in provision. The spiritual aspect is brought back into health care for the patients as well as the staff, where each meeting is considered a sacred encounter. Although this sounds like a hospital made in heaven, it is a reality for such hospitals as Baptist Trust in Nashville, Tennessee and Mercy Gilbert Hospital in Gilbert, Arizona (Chapman, 2007).…
