In October of 2007, Patch Adams and the Gesundheit Board unveiled its campaign to raise $1 million towards building a Teaching Center on the West Virginia Gesundheit campus. We began construction 2011.
The architecture is organic, playful, and inspirational, providing an integrated setting for enhanced learning. The Teaching Center will bring together artists, medical students, care practitioners, parents, and reformers to design positive ideas of health care systems, and ways to implement these ideas.
The center will provide sleeping, eating, and meeting space for groups of up to 100. It will also house an extensive research library of over 30,000 titles already acquired by the Institute but until now lacking the facilities to be housed.
