hospital impact

Here's a 5-minute video (streaming video here) of our guest blogger Nick Jacobs - he talks about how and what they did in implementing planetree at his hospital.

It is quite an interesting story. It's a breathe of fresh air to hear his passionate and somewhat-countercultural strategy to really demystify healthcare - to treat people humanely. It's great to hear that he really did hire a hotel manager, implement bread-baking twice a day, hire chefs, pajama bottoms/bathrobes for patients, live music, and fountains.

The results: 1% infection rate: 9 times lower than the national average.
