The atmosphere we will create is happy, funny, loving, cooperative, creative and thoughtful. The project includes a permaculture farm and Teaching Center, and delivers care through our key principle that a loving connection between doctor and patient is essential for healing.įriendship and mutual interdependence are key ingredients in ensuring that real connection is formed, to realize our therapeutic mission. The Gesundheit Hospital is the embodiment of our philosophy: a 40-bed rural community hospital building in rural West Virginia, dedicated to the free, community-centered approach that Patch Adams has pioneered since 1971.
