Abstract
Does whole person care and the powerful dichotomy between curing and healing have implications for how healthcare is organized? I believe that it does and that the two sides of the dichotomy have equally important contributions to make.
“People really are our most important resource, and people who don’t realize that and choose not to live that way, are paying a price for that in many of our companies, many of our organizations.”
