“Making Health Care Whole is a valuable and much-needed contribution. It provides health care professionals with descriptions, standards, tools, guidelines, and wise counsel in providing appropriate spiritual care for persons with serious illness. As health care pursues genetic and molecular approaches to the understanding and treatment of illness, Making Health Care Whole testifies to the essential role of treating the spiritual needs of persons as well.”

—Myles N. Sheehan, SJ, MD, clinical professor of medicine, Stitch School of Medicine, Loyola University, Chicago
