Whole-Person Caring: A Model for Healing and Wellness

The Model of Whole-Person Caring  was developed in 1999 to create an interdisciplinary framework capable of uniting and synergizing the staff within a hospital to better serve their patients and themselves.  Whole-Person Caring offers a new paradigm for healthcare with far reaching and lofty concepts along with practices that are easily unerstood and can be immediately implemented to create a heathier workforce and a healing environment for patients and families. The model is patient centered and user friendly and its implementation in one hospital resulted in an annual savings of 1.6 million dollars as a result of increased staff retention.
