Stories of Hope

To explore and document the many dimensions and manifestations of spirituality and health in our community we asked grantees to share stories or insights regarding the relationship of spirituality and health. These stories feed the soul and help demonstrate how essential a healthy spirit is to overall health and well being.

To elicit these interviews and stories of personal transformation, St. Luke's Episcopal Health Charities engaged the talent of author Carol Safran. Carol draws upon insight and compassion developed over a decade of experience working for charitable foundations. During that time, she has done in-depth site visits at some 150 non-profit organizations, learning about their programs and meeting the people they serve.
