title: Wholistic care. Healing a "sick" system.
abstract: A contemporary health system seeks to overcome the excesses and shortcomings of the medical model by integrating wholistic concepts and practices into the medical care it provides. Established on the grounds of an acute care hospital as one of its departments, the Franciscan Wholistic Health Center's (FWHC) goal-explicit spirituality and the involvement of FWHC staff in their own as well as their client's spiritual development-distinguishes it from other efforts.
