title: The healing community.
abstract: As health care becomes more industrialized, more influenced by Wall Street, and more driven by internal needs instead of being patient-focused, patients and society lose faith, confidence, and trust in physicians and hospitals. In this paper, a new model of a health care system as a healing community--one that services a community--is presented. The proposed structure will foster service and support.
