The Story And Mission Behind Patch Adams

Barb Allen Speaks

Maybe you remember the movie starring Robin Williams. Or maybe you don't Either way, the story of Patch Adams is one that must be told and inspired by. Patch is the maverick doctor who defies traditional medicine's maddening insistence that patients are numbers and dollars rather than people.

Patch is as concerned with reaching people's hearts as he is with healing their bodies. In fact, he insists that healing hearts will help heal bodies. That life is meant to be lived, even when on the brink of death.

Patch has worked for decades to bring his dream of the Gesundheit Institute to life. Now, finally, is on the cusp of opening its doors.

In this interview with Patch Adams, Patch and his colleague Brenda talk about the special event they are hosting this September. This event will help raise much needed funds to make this vision a reality.

Listen in as Patch and Brenda share the mission, the story behind the movie, and how you can help.
