The Business Meeting Room

Will administrative meeting rooms become a sacred place for your physicians? Even if an important transformation occurs there, few will come to regard the room as a touchstone or a sacred space. In contrast a retreat center promotes reverence for place. You can probably rent a suitable center close to your hospital. You can acquire and convert an adjacent home into a retreat center. Finally, you can build a center. Acquisition and building are more easily justified if the retreat center is also available for the use of hospital employees. Few hospital budgets can fund the purchase of a retreat center, but other funding sources include a hospital foundation grant and interested benefactors.
