“Our clinic at the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital was for poor and chronically ill patients who wanted to deal with refractory pain conditions. They were a difficult patient population. Between 1980 and 1989, each year we placed at least one or two interns from NESWHE [now the National Institute of Whole Health] to perform health education counseling with our clients. These interns were always well educated, sensitive, willing to work hard, and able to re-moralize and spark renewed interest in health and well-being in our difficult patients.”

​

“We came to rely on these placements because their enthusiasm for helping was a critical component of our clinical work to re-direct our patients towards a sense of self-help and self-reliance. On all levels, our relationships with NESWHE [now the National Institute of Whole Health] and its students was professional and of great value to our program.”
