There is a big difference between health care that focuses on healing and a medical care system that focuses on cure. We need both and we need to integrate them. As a result of our fractured current system of care, patients suffer and the economy suffers.

Healing occurs at the individual level, it occurs at the organizational level, and it occurs at the community level. Unless those levels work in concert, the benefit of healing and the huge healing capacity that all of us carry to achieve wellbeing cannot occur.

At this session, I will present a holistic framework for care - the Optimal Healing Environment – and describe how this approach is successfully in use in military hospitals, community hospitals and large health care systems.
