Religion, sprituality, health + wellness
"There is evidence to support how religion and spirituality help to promote health and wellness," said the Rev. Will Baumgartner, pastor at NBGH."I have seen it in my own patients, but also in the crusades of others in the medical field such as Dr. Christina Puchaski."
In a survey by the George H. Gallup International Institute in 1997 found that people overwhelmingly desire to reclaim their spirituality in dying.
The survey showed 65 to 95 percent want their physicians to address their spiritual issues with them, yet only about 10 percentof their physicians actually do.
