God's Hotel

A Doctor, a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine

Victoria Sweet

Explore a unique medical perspective with God's Hotel. Join author Victoria Sweet as she recounts her 20-year experience at San Francisco's Laguna Honda Hospital - the last almshouse in America. Here, Sweet practiced a human-paced and attentive medicine that has all but disappeared. Discover how she tended to patients, who often leapt into hard times, and forged a different understanding of the human body - as a garden in need of care. Against the backdrop of calls for modern health facilities, read how Sweet's story and the hospital's surprising truths revealed the true value of caring for body and soul.
