I met Patch Adams when I was 18 years old at a Chiropractic Convention in Las Vegas
and 25 years later we met up again. It was truly an experience!
I thanked him for inspiring me long ago because he was the reason why I opened Nature's Divine.
Patch Adams Gesundheit Institute and Learning Center resides on a 300-acre pristine tract of farm,
mountain land in rural West Virginia, with gardens, meadows, creeks, 2 waterfalls, a four acre lake,
and clean air and water. Our buildings are stimulating, yet the surrounding
natural environment is even more inspiring.
“The Gesundheit hospital will be a health care community based on friendship and mutual interdependence, with a staff that lives in the facility with their families in a collective atmosphere of happiness, silliness, love, creativity and cooperation. The atmosphere would enhance healing and relieve suffering.”
-Patch Adams
