Spiritual Health Care

Description

More and more hospitals are now putting added emphasis on the spiritual care of their patients—and it is paying off both figuratively and literally. David Tereshchuk reports from Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City, where he interviews hospital chaplain Father Rick Bauer. He also talks with Dr. Christina Puchalski, head of George Washington University Medical School’s Institute for Spirituality and Health about the improved outcomes that result from having chaplains available to patients and the benefits for the institutions of having better patient satisfaction.
