The Gesundheit Institute is a project in holistic medical care based on the belief that one cannot separate the health of the individual from the health of the family, the community, the world, and the health care system itself. Gesundheit?s model is designed to protect care as the core of the medical interaction. Our model is organized around these principles:1. Care is free; no third party reimbursement is accepted;2. Patients are treated as friends;3. Ample time is given to the care interaction - initial interviews with patients are 3 hours long;4. All complementary medicine is welcomed;5. The health of the staff is as important as the health of the patients; 6. Trust is central to the care interaction (i.e no malpractice insurance); and7. Care is infused with fun and play.

Brain tumors are now the leading cause of cancer deaths of children and young adults. The emotional and financial devastation it causes to families is unacceptable. The cure will eventually be found. We intend to speed up the process by speeding up the exchange of information - networking with the researchers, patient groups and other nonprofits; raising money for research; advocating for change;  hosting conferences and running research projects.   Until that happens, we will help support families dealing with brain tumors by educating them on the choices they have to make, help find options for them, and even help them get access to the treatments they need with both our advocacy program and our copayment assistance program
