Patch Adams is the celebrated physician/founder of the Gesundheit! Institute. In 1998 Universal films released a movie about his life using Robin Williams to portray Patch Adams -- a medical student who uses zany humor and love to heal his patients.
Dr Adams of Arlington, Virginia, charges no money, carries no malpractice insurance and lectures regularly at medical schools throughout the US. He has begun building a hospital and health care centre on a 320-acre farm in Pocohantas County, West Virginia to offer totally free healthcare to the community. For more information:
