I saw this on their website:
http://www.patchadams.org/hospital_project/
To help promote diversity and truly to be full service in our planned facility, we insist on integrating all the healing arts. Allopathic medicine, including surgery, ob/gyn, pediatrics, internal medicine, family practice and psychiatry, will work hand in hand with complementary medicine, including acupuncture, homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, ayurvedic, anthroposophic, herbal, body work and faith healing.
Does anyone know anything about this? I wonder what kind of homeopathy they practice, if they do at all.
I’ll be spending a few weeks about 25 miles from there beginning later this month. Maybe I’ll stop by.

this was a wonderful piece. i recall the robin williams movie which
was hilarious and sentimental and inspirational. this piece brings
the concept alive. it reminds me of the goals and dreams of my
younger days and gives hope for our human possibilities.

There was a movie done on Patch Adams, played by Robin Williams

I also heard of Patch early in my studies in holistic heatlh in the 80's.

That's all I know
