    On the eerie day of June 6 1896, the Peoria State Hospital was on its way to being built( dun dun dahhhhh). Then on the date of December 22, 1897 the facility was almost ready to be opened. Following the the opening on February 10, 1902 was a deadly day in history ( psst not really) the facility had been opened to its first 100 patients, by April there were over 634 patients ( I bet it was very luxurious). By the time the facility had been open for a year many “criminal acts” had been “happening” inside the building. On October 13 of 1903 a nurse had been beaten by to death by two other patients, but the murder was never tried (oh my). You may be thinking to yourself, “Wow this seems like a great place to live in!”…NOT! Many deaths have occurred in the building including the deaths of infants from patients in the facility. In 1905 Dr. Zeller a doctor at the facility made a notion to have all bars and restraints from the building (well this should be interesting). Jumping to a few years later, in 1967 a female nurse had been murdered, having been hit in the head with a steel bar from a lid of a garbage can. In the year of 1972 there had been three deaths in the building, including a patient Bernard Roe who was struck in the head with a chair at lunch by another patient, patient Jerome Spence was beaten by an inmate with had a 3 year old mentality, and James Logan who died of an ear infection. In December of 1973 the facility closed and the 600 patients in the facility were relocated. Today, the building is still standing but is not a working facility. It is only opened to the public, but for a special reason (oohh). The facility is opened for (drum roll please dadadadda) , ghost hunting! Now, you may be thinking no way, this place can’t be haunted, I mean there weren’t that many brutal deaths (well your wrong). The facility has had many professional ghost hunters come in, including famous TV shows, such as “Ghost Hunters” and “Ghost…

    "A Healing Hospital is a hospital that employs healthy role models who teach health improvement, offers a healing environment and also leads community health improvement instead of just focusing on illness care and rescue care. A Healing Hospital focuses on healing and becomes an active member in fixing the healthcare system because they lower the need for costly, invasive care by improving health" (Harmony Healing House 2013). The healing hospital paradigm focuses on a holistic approach in caring for patients. Healing a patient and curing a patient may seem to be the same thing, however curing a patient focusing on fixing the problem or eradicating the illness or disease. Healing on the other hand is about helping the patient be at peace regardless of their disease. It is about promoting a balance with the person 's body, mind and spirit. This kind of environment helps reduce anxiety and stress that can positively affect a patient health.…
