	Retreat to the Mountains for the Gesundheit Humanistic Medicine Course Spend a month in the beautiful Appalachian valley in rural West Virginia engaging in the study and practice of compassion at the Gesundheit Institute. Patch Adams and the Gesundheit Institute are offering a month-long course: "Humanistic medicine: constructing your humanism." The course runs September 29 through October 23, 2008. Several spaces still remain. We invite all interested stakeholders in health care to participate: medical and nursing students, pre-med students, health care providers, community dreamers. Elective credit can be arranged. Instruction by board-certified physicians of the Gesundheit Institute. Cost: $600, which covers tuition, room, and board for four weeks. Application deadline: September 10, 2008. Read more ... To apply contact Assi at documa...@gmail.com $200,000 needed to break ground on the Patch Adams Teaching Center and Clinic Thanks to strong and early support, the campaign build the Patch Adams Teaching Center and Clinic has raised nearly $350,000 to date, largely in donations $1000 and under. Thank you! We are asking friends to help us raise $200,000 more to break ground. DONATE NOW. Over 30 volunteers worked during our recent board meeting to call 2,000 friends who have given in the past. Please consider a donation at this critical moment in the development of a positive model for health care delivery. GIVE $5, $50, or $500. Our Capital Campaign team can be reached at 217-278-3933 ext. 12 or at giv...@patchadams.org. "Thinking Outside the Box" Health Care Design Intensive Asks Participants to Design their "Ideal Health Care Practice" The fourth intensive in Health Care Systems Design took place on the site of the future Gesundheit Teaching Center and Clinic this August. For five days amid the breathtaking mountains of West Virginia, a mix of doctors, nurses, medical students, residents, therapists, organizers and community dreamers brought their stories, criticism, questions, weariness, enthusiasm, compassion, indignation and desires for change in health care delivery. The instructors and guest presenters offered design tools and inspiring examples of humane health care practices. Ideas were sparked and problems clarified, with frequent doses of hugs and lots and lots of laughter. View resources and report backs from the Health Care Intensive. (Note: Although over 3000 people inquired and 200 applied, we were only able to accept 20 participants due the constraints of the land. Once the Teaching Center is built, we will be able to host up to 150 people for educational events. Another good reason to support the capital campaign!) In Other News ... Funny Times, the nation's funniest newspaper, has agreed to donate 100% of new subscriptions through Gesundheit communications to the campaign to build the Teaching Center and Clinic. Tickle your funny bone and support Gesundheit by subscribing to Funny Times. The Gesundheit Global Outreach Humanitarian Clown trip to Romania still has a few spaces open.Read more about the Romania Clown Trip. In July, Gesundheit hosted the School for Designing a Society focused on the questions: What would society look like if it were based on the desires of all its members? What might it take to get there? Find out more about the School for Designing a Society.
