Dr. Harold Koenig was recently interviewed by Newsweek (November 10, 2003) about
his book Spirituality in Patient Care (Templeton Foundation Press) and his
research in the area of religion and health. He has become the international
voice on
the subjects of spirituality, health, and aging.
In this book he is joined by two other experts on aging and human development.
They present a compelling look at one of the most serious issues in today's
society: healthcare in America.
How will we provide quality healthcare to older adults who will need it during
the next 30-50 years? Who will provide this care? How will it be funded?
How can we establish systems of care now to be in place as demographic and
health-related
economic pressures mount?
Alongside the sobering reality of the challenges our country faces, there
are reasons for optimism. Innovative programs created and maintained by
volunteers and religious congregations are emerging as pivotal factors in meeting
healthcare
needs. Summarizing decades of scientific research and providing numerous
inspirational
examples and role models, the authors present practical steps that individuals
and institutions may emulate for putting faith into action.
